Assassin's Creed Unity will let players "fast track" unlocks with microtransactions
"Ubisoft confirmed the presence of microtransactions in Assassin's Creed Unity during a presentation at Gamescom. It didn't go into detail about how the system will work but according to Total Xbox, it seems like a fairly straightforward system of paying for immediate access to in-game gear. Senior Producer Vincent Pontbriand acknowledged that evolving industry trends have had an influence on the development of the game, but added that they won't "fundamentally change what we're trying to do."
