But it may not be as off-the-ranch as it first appears. Creative director Jonathan Dumont told USgamer that what you see is not necessarily what the world will get.  > The idea is that Layla Hassan, the modern-day lead of Assassin's Creed Origins who's back for more in Odyssey, may not be getting a fully authentic recreation of the ancient world when she dives back into the Animus. "These are small pockets that are lost somewhere in the world. There is a sort of a sub-plot with artifacts. Are you seeing a simulation within a simulation? What are you seeing?" Dumont said. "It's real for Alexios, Kassandra, and that world. But what you are perceiving through that world with Layla, is that real?"
