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.

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.

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.

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, including building interiors and the catacombs. Map icons will be visible when standing on rooftops.

Haystacks have been largely removed in favor of allowing players to control their descent from rooftops, while Social Stealth has received a special crouching mode activated by button, and combat has been made more tactical to feel more realistic.

For memories, instead of the player being given a series of objectives, Ubisoft have developed the Adaptive Mission Mechanic giving players several potential paths to complete a mission eg. choosing to stalk a target will lead to a chase if they detect you, as opposed to causing desynchronization.

Arno possesses Eagle Pulse, which will evolve over the course of the game. It can allow the Assassin to sense how many guards are in a location he intends to infiltrate.

The modern day portion will return, but will differ from the Abstergo Entertainment setting of Black Flag.

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. The Assassins' weapons and appearance are customizable, while experience gained can be spent on combat, navigation or stealth abilities.

Trivia

• According to Creative Director Alex Amancio, Paris, the main setting of the game, will be the largest city ever seen in the series at a scale of 1:1.
