Ubi should probably stop letting employees fly.

Article by Jason Schreier, more at the link

One of this fall's big Assassin's Creed games, called or code-named Unity, is set at least partly in 18th-century Paris, according to early leaked screenshots obtained by Kotaku.

These screenshots, sent to me by a source who requested anonymity, show Unity's new assassin roaming around what appears to be Paris. You can see Notre Dame, the Seine River, and other Parisian landmarks, and the shots are very clearly from an early version of the game.

What's more, this is just one of two major Assassin's Creed games that will be out later this year, according to a number of sources. Unity will be for the current-gen consoles—Xbox One and PS4—while a second game, possibly called or code-named Comet, will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3. Presumably one or both versions will also be on PC. Sorry, Nintendo fans: I haven't yet heard anything about Wii U.

[mrjohill]

What do you mean two? Is it one for current gen and one for last?

 

[Skilletor]

What do you mean two?

Current gen/last gen, I'd guess.

 

[StuBurns]

A lady mainline entry? Cool.

EDIT: I guess it's not a lady, just looked it from that first shot posted.

 

[V_Ben]

What do you mean two?

One current gen only, one on PS3/360

 

[Raven Prime]

What do you mean two?

The number between one and three, of course.

 

[Kinyou]

So french revolution setting is finally happening?

 

[Impeccable]

Was Kotaku's source on a plane?

 

[Into]

In before Dave Chappelle dressing up as Rick James

UUUNIIITTTYYY!


Jokes aside, i love Black Flag, so i am kinda interested

 

[illmatic22]

Current gen/last gen, I'd guess.

Yeah, that's the rumor

 

[MMaRsu]

Sadly, this looks like the same old shit we've been playing for years ( with the exception of the awesome Black Flag ). Time for a real next gen version yo!

 

[theWB27]

What do you mean two? Is it one for next gen and one for current?

There's a rumor that there'll be a AC for last gen (PS360) and a AC specifically built for next gen. That looks to be PS360

 

[Dead Prince]

thought it said fail

 

[atr0cious]

Wii U version?

 

[qa_engineer]

Why are there two assassin's creed games coming? Who asked for more assassin's creed?

 

[CaptainTiptop]

A poster here did hear the next Assassin's Creed would be set in Paris or London. Paris current-gen, London last-gen?

 

[BennyBlanco]

early 19th century europe? or colonial america (again)?

 

[kmax]

They should make an Assassin's Creed where you play as a ninja set in feudal Japan.

I'd play that game.

 

[BTM]

"Parkour Down"
"Parkour Up"

hmm

 

[The Grim Heaper]

{Parkour Up}

 

[Ellimem]

After ACIV, I am stoked for a new game in the series.

 

[sjay1994]

Wow.. the plane story was accurate

 

[Spehornoob]

Parkour Down and Parkour Up buttons?

Ass Creed taking some inspiration from Mirror's Edge, maybe?

 

[Spaghetti]

it's an assassin's creed game alright, right down to the same collection of stuff at the side of the building so you can scale it.

they really need to change the formula.

 

[Phil4000]

Better not be cross-gen.

freakin tablets are more powerful now...

 

[braves01]

Thank god theres a new Assassins Creed game coming this year.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Ps3 and 360???

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

TWO asscreed games?

Ubisoft doing a level 5 here

 

[brandonh83]

There's a rumor that there'll be a AC for last gen (PS360) and a AC specifically built for next gen. That looks to be PS360

We've got leaked images of Assassin's Creed: Unity, out for PS4 and Xbox One this fall: http://bit.ly/1gQ4nDb

 

[anexanhume]

A lady mainline entry? Cool.

Where do you see that?

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Even more? Already been a lot of AC games.

 

[Chake]

Why are there two assassin's creed games coming? Who asked for more assassin's creed?

You would be surprised on how much this idea is going to sell...

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

The idea of two separate games is kind of weird. Will one be a side story kind of thing like Liberty, or will anyone who actually gives a fuck about the main plot-line need to play both?

Even more? Already been a lot of AC games.

Did something lead you to believe they were just going to stop making them?

 

[Marvel]

Dos?

 

[Venfayth]

butbutbut japan

 

[Namikaze]

Why are there two assassin's creed games coming? Who asked for more assassin's creed?

LOL.

The current rumor is there will be two seperate Assassins Creed games this year; one built for current gen, and one for last gen.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I guess the games must be different enough that they're considering putting both last gen and current gen versions out on PC. Hopefully, it won't be a Splinter Cell Double Agent type of deal where one version is clearly much better than the other

Why are there two assassin's creed games coming? Who asked for more assassin's creed?

It's 3 games if you count Watch_Dogs

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

So that's what the final game will look like, right? Because I haven't seen bullshots yet.

 

[sant]

That screenshot looks good

 

[titusandronicus]

Unity is such an odd subtitle for a video game, sounds more like a console or tech product name.

 

[jonno394]

I wonder if they'd release both on pc. No real reason not to unless it's additional cost for the last gen title whereas the current gen title would be easy to get on a pc.

 

[dc89]

I understand the appeal of these games and why they're successful but I have to ask this.

How long can they carry on with yearly installments?

 

[Dead]

So happy we finally get Paris!

Wonder why they aren't naming this AC5

 

[SargerusBR]

They should make an Assassin's Creed where you play as a ninja set in feudal Japan.

I'd play that game.

Too japanese for Ubi's tastes.

 

[Pooya]

plane leak alos mentioned this is supposed to be nextgen one (unity), article says it too.

looks early/unfinished I guess.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Parkour Up and Parkour Down?

Hmm, that's an interesting new addition.

 

[FTF]

Two threads for two versions of the game? lol

 

[atr0cious]

From that rumor thread:

codename is AC:unity. Not final title, might be battle/fight something (cant remember). The AC logo is cut in the middle like the beyond/quantum break logo.
MC has a blue suit with a tinge of red in the clip(might change). looked similar to the ones worn by the Knights in order 1886.

from the clip it looks like a cross gen title. Although the guy tells me its next gen only title.
