“Assassin’s Creed: Unity” has released their 101 trailer giving gamers the run down on what’s to come in the upcoming title.
Players can expect to see up to 5,000 NPCs on their screen at one time, making “Assassin’s Creed: Unity” one of Ubisoft’s most immersive titles ever, according to UbiBlog.
“Assassin’s Creed: Unity” Art Director Mohamed Gambouz recently explained to the title’s official DevBlog how much developers worked on the title in order to recreate the French Revolution era setting.
“Well, we start by reading and understanding what the game is about, usually via a pitch from the Narrative or Creative Director. In this case, the key themes were French Revolution and Paris. From there, we move on to doing a lot of research. This helps us both enrich the original vision, and provides inspiration for the art and designs,” Gambouz explained.
He added, “At this point, we start to develop a solid idea of what fits with the vision and what needs to be filtered out; usually referred to as the Concept stage. This could be anywhere from 6 months to the first year of development. Once we are all aligned on the art direction, then we dispatch that to the artists.”
As an Assassin your gear is completely customizable and players will be able to craft their perfect suit to fit their playing style, which will become an important part of the co-op feature.
“Make use of the group skills when you’re trying out the co-op. Become a team healer or ammo supplier and help out your comrades,” according to UbiBlog.
“Everyone benefits from these perks. Create a balanced team to successfully take on the narrative-driven Brotherhood missions, the endlessly replayable Heist missions, or even just the free-roaming exploration of Paris.”
Of course it would be an “Assassin’s Creed: title without the appearance of historical figure. Napoleon, the Marquis de Sade, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette and Robespierre are just a few historical figureheads that come into play during Arno’s journey as an Assassin.
“Assassin’s Creed: Unity” will be released to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles on Nov. 11.
