Assassin's Creed: Unity is an upcoming 2014 sandbox action adventure game, and a sequel to 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Unity follows the story of an Assassin named Arno Dorian during the French Revolution. The game will be exclusive to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It is set to be released on 28 October 2014.[1]

Development

Ubisoft's Montreal-based team, in conjunction with nine other studios from Toronto, Kiev, Singapore, Shanghai, Annecy, Montpellier, Bucharest, Quebec and Chengdu are working on the completion of the game.[2]

The game's creative director is Alexandre Amancio, who also served as creative director on 2011's Assassin's Creed: Revelations, while the lead writer is Fallout: New Vegas contributor Travis Stout.[3]

Gameplay

As the game is exclusive to next-generation consoles and PC, it will enable renderings of Paris to 1:1 scale and crowds numbering in the thousands. Players will able to explore the city's entirety of the city, including building interiors and the catacombs.[4] Map icons will be visible when standing on rooftops.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag

Cooperative play

Following the success of Wolfpack in Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed: Unity is the first game in the series to introduce campaign co-op. Up to four players can take on story-based missions including sabotaging an execution, protecting an emperor or assassinating a target.[1] The Assassins' weapons and appearance are customizable, while experience gained can be spent on combat, navigation or stealth abilities.[4]
