Ubisoft reveals Assassin's Creed Unity

Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Unity will be released worldwide on October 28, 2014.

Assassin’s Creed Unity is being developed by the team in Ubisoft Montreal with support from nine Ubisoft studios around the world. Set in a once-magnificent Paris, Unity focuses on the 1789 French Revolution. Through the streets of Paris, the starving inhabitants are set to take up arms for freedom and equality. In this time of chaos and brutality, a young man named Arno, wounded by the loss of those he loved, sets on a deadly path of redemption. Arno’s pursuit throws him into the middle of a ruthless struggle for the fate of a nation, and transforms him into a true Master Assassin.

Players will carve their way through a full-scale open-world Paris, thanks to the power of the new Anvil engine, rebuilt from the ground up for new generation consoles. The game promises players full control parkour mechanics, a reinvented fighting system for a richer combat experience, a new stealth mode, cover system and crowd manipulation techniques. Players can channel their inner Assassin, customizing weapons, equipment, outfits and specialized skills to match their play style.

In addition to the sprawling single-player campaign, players can join with up to three friends and take part in story-driven online co-op missions designed specifically for Assassins to play together. Skills and unique gear acquired in the single-player missions will be accessible in co-op and will define a player’s personalized Assassin’s style, whether emphasizing brute force, agility or stealth. Players also will select a unique co-op skill that will help the team survive, evade or fight more effectively to the benefit of the team.

Players who pre-order Assassin’s Creed Unity will receive two bonus offers. The first is an exclusive single player mission, The Chemical Revolution, offering 30 minutes of additional gameplay. During this mission the player will help Lavoisier, the "Father of Modern Chemistry", to escape from his kidnappers and recover his poison bomb formula.

Three collector’s editions are available for Assassin’s Creed Unity. The Guillotine Collector Case is available exclusively via the Uplay shop and features the Guillotine Collector box, including the Arno Guillotine figurine, an Art book, a customized Tarot game and other unique items, as well as extra in-game content, and can be pre-ordered on the Uplay shop.

Also available are the Notre Dame Edition, exclusively at a selected local partner and including the Arno Gargoyle figurine with other bonus content, and the Bastille Edition including the Artbook Soundtrack, lithographs and in-game content in an exclusive Jumbo Steel case.

Assassin's Creed Unity will launch on PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
