Today is the release date for
Assassin's Creed Unity for Windows and consoles, and strangely also the
release date for console versions of
Assassin's Creed Rogue, though the PC edition of that one is not due until
next year. The
Assassin's Creed website announces plans to celebrate the release of both
games on their new
Assassin's
Creed Twitch Channel beginning at 11:45 EST (actually EDT) today. Here's
word on the game:
Paris, 1789 – The French Revolution turns a
once-magnificent city into a place of terror and chaos. Its cobblestone streets
run red with the blood of commoners who dared to rise up against the oppressive
aristocracy.
As the nation tears itself apart, a young man named Arno will embark on an
extraordinary journey to expose the true powers behind the Revolution. His
pursuit will throw him into the middle of a ruthless struggle for the fate of a
nation, and transform him into a true Master Assassin.
In addition to an epic single-player campaign, join with up to three friends
online and experience the open world of 18th-century Paris. Pull ambitious
heists and take part in unique narrative-driven missions designed exclusively
for co-op play. Sabotage an execution. Protect an emperor. Assassinate a Templar
agent. Victory won’t be easy; you and your lethal band must rely on
communication, coordination, and diverse skills to accomplish your missions,
then vanish into the shadows.
