Assassin's Creed Unity is an upcoming historical action-adventure open world video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is set to release on October 28, 2014 in North America for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is the seventh major installment in the Assassin's Creed series, and the first since 2013's Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Set within Paris on the eve of the French Revolution, the single-player story follows Arno Dorian and his fellow assassins in their their efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution.

The game is played from a third-person perspective. Players will control the lead protagonist through the single-player mode, both during and outside of missions. The game's cooperative multiplayer mode, a first for the series, lets up to four players explore the open world and engage in narrative-driven missions.

Premise

The game will be set in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution and follow Arno Dorian and his fellow assassins.

Development

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, and new navigation mechanic. The leak also stated that Unity, set during the French Revolution, would release in late 2014 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and would feature an assassin named Arno. 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 release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows. 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 Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. 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.

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.
