Assassin’s Creed: Unity single-player and multiplayer gameplay walkthroughs show you the French Revolution up close
Ubisoft has been anything but stingy with their gameplay videos of Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Above is the official E3 co-op gameplay trailer, which shows you the elaborate online system, and promises that you’ll have so many options that no experience will be the same twice. After the jump, you’ll see an equally awesome single-player gameplay trailer, which takes you through the chaotic streets of Paris during the French Revolution.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be out on October 28 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. (more…)
MS @ E3 14: Assassin’s Creed: Unity will have four-player co-op
The headline says it all. During Microsoft’s E3 Press Conference, developers from Ubisoft have confirmed that Assassin’s Creed: Unity will include four-player cooperative play when it launches this Fall.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity will also be available for the PC and PS4. I have no idea why that went unmentioned at Microsoft’s Press Conference.
Ubisoft @ E3 14: Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, The Division, The Crew, more
Ubisoft has announced their E3 2014 plans and it includes a lot of games we already knew about including Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Far Cry 4, Tom Clancy’s The Division, The Crew, and Valiant Hearts: The Great War. The megapublisher plans to announce a few additional titles during E3 Media Briefing, which will be held on Monday, June 9 at 6:00 PM (Eastern Time). Once again, Ubisoft’s presentation will be hosted by actress (and professional awesome person) Aisha Tyler and will be broadcast live on their YouTube Channel.
So what else will Ubisoft be announcing at this year’s E3 Expo? I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Blood Dragon 2 or the oft-rumored Assassin’s Creed: Comet, and you know a Watch Dogs sequel is in development somewhere within Ubisoft’s many development houses, but that probably won’t be an E3 2014 announcement.
You can find more information on Ubisoft’s E3 lineup after the break. (more…)

Ubisoft confirms Assassin’s Creed: Unity will take place during French Revolution
Kotaku recently posted a report revealing the French Revolution setting of the next Assassin’s Creed game. Believed to be codenamed “Unity,” their source stated the game was only in development for next-generation systems and that it would be released this Fall.
This morning, Ubisoft confirmed that the next game in the series will be titled Assassin’s Creed: Unity and that it will be set during the French Revolution. Unity has been in development for over three years and it is currently scheduled to be released during this year’s holiday season.
The publisher also released a short teaser trailer for the game, which you can view above.

Ubisoft Toronto developing new Assassin’s Creed game
Fortune Magazine recently published a list of the ten most powerful women in gaming. Many members of the list are high executives for well-known companies such as Naughty Dog and 343 Industries, and Ubisoft’s Jade Raymond is no exception. Raymond is the Managing Director of Ubisoft Toronto, but before that, she helped co-create the original Assassin’s Creed.
Assassin’s Creed didn’t exist before 2007 and in six short years, it has become one of the best-selling franchises in all of gaming. It has also spawned a number of successful sequels. But the most interesting takeaway from Raymond’s writeup is that, according to Fortune, she is “now working on a new Assassin’s Creed game (not Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag)” as well as Watch Dogs and three other unannounced titles. Of course, with Ubisoft’s commitment to spreading the development of every Assassin’s Creed title across multiple studios, it’s likely that Toronto is just one of a half dozen credits that will appear on the next Assassin’s Creed box.
While it may come as no surprise to gamers that Ubisoft has plans for another Assassin’s Creed title, it does raise the question of what’s next for the franchise. What time period will the new title take place in? Which member of Altaïr’s lineage will the story follow? How, if at all, will it relate to the events happening in the present? And most importantly, will the game be known as Assassin’s Creed V?
All these questions and more will surely be answered soon.
