Assassin's Creed Odyssey – Legacy of the First Blade is a downloadable content (DLC) pack developed and published by Ubisoft for the 2018 action role-playing video game Assassin's Creed Odyssey. Set both during and after the events of the main story, the pack follows the protagonist of the base game, a legendary Greek mercenary known as the Eagle Bearer, as they face a new threat to the Greek World in the form of the Order of the Ancients, a precursor organisation to the Templar Order, who serve as the perennial antagonists of the Assassin's Creed series. It also explores the history behind the signature Hidden Blade weapon of the Assassin Brotherhood, and how Odyssey is connected to other installments in the Assassin's Creed franchise.

Legacy of the First Blade is the first major downloadable content pack for Assassin's Creed Odyssey. It consists of three episodes: Hunted, Shadow Heritage, and Bloodline, which were released periodically from December 2018 to March 2019 for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One. Each of the DLC episodes were met with mixed reviews from critics and video game publications. The overall quality and thoughtfulness of the story's writing, as well as its engaging cast of characters, have been praised. However, a pivotal narrative development that sets the player character on a predetermined path to start a family, either out of love or to continue their family bloodline, was poorly received by critics and fans, who felt it betrayed the game's role-playing nature. In response to the controversy, Ubisoft released a patch which made minor adjustments meant to better reflect the nature of the relationship for players who prefer a non-romantic storyline.
