Turns out Xavier wasn’t inside though, so Arno has to cross the rooftops of Paris to track him down at some nearby executions. Crouching and sneaking around are now possible at the end of a button push. While creeping around inside the club, it’s noted that Unity has a dedicated stealth mode. As an aside, it’s mentioned that you can enter many of the buildings in Paris. Arno wanders into a building and picks up a “murder mystery” quest to attend to later.Ĭombat is said to be “much more challenging” in this game, although it’s tricky to see exactly how as Arno stabs his way into a social club he hopes will contain Captain Xavier. The streets of Paris are pretty packed, and the citizens will give you clues towards possible missions with their behaviour. Seems like Ubisoft is going to try to eliminate the old “oh god no, jump there you idiot!” or accidental climbing of objects present in previous Creed games.Īs Tim pointed out with the co-op video earlier, Assassin’s Creed: Unity looks to have nailed the crowd scene. Movement in Unity has supposedly been completely overhauled, and this is demonstrated as Arno leaves the top of Notre Dame Cathedral using the new “controlled descent” mechanics.

In the narrated gameplay, Arno is tasked with assassinating a fellow named Captain Xavier.

As this is an Assassin’s Creed game, no doubt the Templars have had something to do with the chaos that’s consuming the city. Arno is in Paris, amidst the upheaval of the French Revolution. Let’s start with the eight minute gameplay demo, because that’s honestly the most important part. Earlier in the day we saw some four player co-op at the Microsoft conference, but the Ubisoft show brought some single player gameplay, more about the protagonist Arno Dorian and a CG trailer with some Tears for Fears. No prizes at all for predicting that Ubisoft would show more from Assassin’s Creed: Unity at their E3 event. He’s French-Austrian, but sounds all British to me.
