Release

The game was originally intended to be released worldwide on October 28, 2014.[38] However, on August 28, 2014, it was delayed until November 11, 2014 in North America and November 13, 2014 in PAL regions. On the delay, Vincent Pontbriand, senior producer at Ubisoft, said, "As we got close to the finish, we realized we were near the target but still needed a bit more time to hone some of the details to make sure Assassin’s Creed Unity is exceptional.” Additionally, the game will receive a day one patch with further updates to the game.[5]

Historical consulting

On October 6, 2014, Ubisoft announced that they have enlisted the help of academic historians such as Laurent Turcot, professor at l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (Canada) for daily life of 18th-century Paris and Jean Clement Martin professor at the Sorbonne, to revise the script.[39]

The Eiffel Tower, which was built in 1889, appears in-game via a distortion in the Animus simulation of Paris.[40]

Development[

Development

Development for the game began shortly after the completion of 2010's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood,[9] with the core development team splitting off during the early stages of development on Assassin's Creed III.[18] On March 19, 2014, images leaked for the next game, titled or code-named Unity, showing a new assassin in Paris. The screenshots show new "parkour up" and "parkour down" buttons, a new navigation mechanic. The leak also stated that Unity, set during the French Revolution, would be released in late 2014 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and would feature an assassin named Arno.[19] On March 21, Ubisoft confirmed the game's existence, having been in development for more than three years, by releasing pre-alpha game footage. They also confirmed the game's release date of Q4 2014, and that it would also see a release on Windows.[20] Ubisoft writer Jeffrey Yohalem revealed that the French Revolution setting for the game was deliberately teased, along with Assassin's Creed III '​s American Revolution setting, in symbols seen at the end of Brotherhood.[21] Ubisoft Montreal is the lead developer for the project, with contributing work from the Ubisoft studios in Toronto, Kiev, Singapore, Shanghai, Annecy, Montpellier, Bucharest, Quebec, and Chengdu.[22]

At E3 2014, trailers were released for the game, demonstrating the game's cooperative multiplayer mode for up to four players, a first for the series.[23] The development team was able to use the new power of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One to improve the NPC crowds. Up to 1000 individual AI characters can appear in a crowd, each acting independently and reacting to each other as well as the player's actions.[9] The PC version of the game uses Nvidia's GameWorks technology such as TXAA anti-aliasing, advanced DX11 tessellation and Nvidia PhysX technology, due to a partnership between Ubisoft and Nvidia.[24][25]

Lead game designer Benjamin Plich has said this game will be more difficult than previous entries thanks to the removal of the counter button and more aggressive guards.[26] Plich also said that the game will feature synchronized Double Assassinations.[27]

In August 2014, Assassin's Creed Rogue was announced for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and was revealed to have ties to the story in Unity.[12]

Premise

Characters
The main character of the game is Arno Dorian (Dan Jeannotte),[10][11] a native Frenchman who was born in Versailles to an Assassin father. After his father is killed, Arno is adopted, unaware that his new family holds a senior position within the Templar Order, with his new father figure the Templar Grandmaster.[9][12][13] Arno blames himself when his adoptive father is murdered, and so sets out on a quest of redemption that brings him into the Brotherhood of Assassins, where he slowly rises through the ranks, much like Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore as seen in previous games.[9][13] Arno's love interest is a Templar named Elise De LaSerre (Catherine Bérubé),[14] the daughter of the Templar Grandmaster who adopted Arno, who also sets out to investigate more about her father's death and its role in a growing ideological change within the Templar Order that threatens its core values.[12][13][15] Additional characters include Marquis de Sade (Alex Ivanovici), Napoleon Bonaparte (Brent Skagford) and Maximilien de Robespierre (Bruce Dinsmore).[14]

Setting

Arno's story will be set in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution.[10] The modern day setting will focus on the Assassins contacting the player and requesting their help to explore Arno in the past, as well as helping in the present.[16] Co-operative multiplayer missions will follow the development of the Brotherhood of Assassins during the French Revolution.[12] In addition, "time anomalies" can be encountered throughout the city. Accessing them will take Arno to various points of Parisian history, such as its occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II.[17]

Assassin's Creed Unity

Assassin's Creed Unity is an upcoming historical action-adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is set to be released in November and December 2014 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is the seventh major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the successor to 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag with ties to 2014's Assassin's Creed Rogue. Set within Paris during the French Revolution, the single-player story follows Arno Dorian in his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution.

The game retains the series' third-person open world exploration as well as introducing an improved melee combat and stealth system. Assassin's Creed Unity introduces cooperative multiplayer to the Assassin's Creed series, letting up to four players engage in narrative-driven missions and explore the open-world map.
