The game is set within Paris in 1789 during the French revolution. The revolution turns the once magnificent city into a city of chaos and terror. The cobblestone streets are turned red with the blood of commoners who were brave enough to rise up against aristocracy.

In the midst of all this chaos, a young hero named Arno embarks on an extraordinary mission with the aim of exposing the dark forces behind the revolution. His pursuit for justice throws him into a ruthless struggle for fate of a nation and he later becomes a true assassin.

Apart from the epic single player campaign, assassin’s creed unity introduces cooperative multi player, letting a maximum of four players engage in a narrative driven mission and experience the open world of Paris during the 18th century.

The game also introduces the phantom blade which uses the mechanism of a crossbow to fire projectiles silently over a long distance. The phantom blade also serves the same role as the hidden blade in the previous series of assassin’s creed game.

Ubisoft introduced “parkour up” and “pakour down” to make it easy for a player to navigate around buildings in either directions. Additionally, Arno is able to learn new parkour moves throughout the game. A player can alternatively purchase new skills.

The game also introduces a large crowd that brings new interactions within the game. A player can choose to engage in other activities such as engaging in a fistfight or chasing a pick pocket. A player can also customize their weapons, armor and individual style of play.
