According to Kotaku, "Assassin's Creed Unity" will be set in 18th-century Paris is the first of two "major" games for the series. The website was also able to get their hands on alleged screenshots from the title.
"These screenshots, sent to me by a source who requested anonymity, show Unity's new assassin roaming around what appears to be Paris," Kotaku reports. "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."
The rumored "Unity" game will allegedly only be released for the Xbox One and PS4. The second rumored "Assassin's Creed" title will exclusively launch for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
"This information comes both from web chatter and our own conversations with developer sources," Kotaku reports. "For months now we've heard rumors and rumblings about what could be the next installment in Ubisoft's popular assassin-parkour series, which has been released on an annual schedule for five years now. There's been a new major Assassin's Creed every fall since 2009."

There have been multiple rumors pointing to different locations for the next "Assassin's Creed" installment. Victorian London, Russia, Industrial Revolution and Japan are just a few locations that have been linked to the game.
Ubisoft hasn't confirmed the location of their next title, but "Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag" director Ashraf Ismail recently talked to IGN about the development process for the franchise.
"With Assassin's Creed we always say that history is our playground," Ismail explained to IGN. "When we chose the pirate setting, obviously it meant naval battles had to be a core element of the game. The questions are always about what time periods we go into, but that's a decision based on whether these time periods are interesting for fans, interesting for us as developers, and what it'd mean for the game mechanics."
"We don't bind ourselves to game mechanics, but we really look at what is interesting historically speaking, and what game mechanics that naturally brings up," he added. "Hopefully then, the fans love and enjoy it..."
