Assassins Creed Unity Spoilers, Reveals, Spoilers, Teasers, News and Plot: Game Introduces Improved Melee Combat and Stealth System

Assassin's Creed unity is an upcoming historical action adventure video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. The game is set to be released in November and December 2014 for Microsoft Windows, Playstation 4 and Xbox One. It is the seventh major instalment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2013's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag with ties to 2014's Assassin's Creed Rogue.

The game follows the storyline of Arno Dorian, a native Frenchman who was born in Versailles to an assassin father. After his father is killed, Arno is adopted, unaware that his new family holds a senior position within the Templar Order with his new father figure the Templar Grandmaster. He blames himself for the murder of his adoptive father and sets out on a quest of redemption that brings him into the Brotherhood of Assassins. Here he slowly rises through ranks, much like Altair Ibn-La'Ahad and Ezio Auditore as clearly seen in the previous games. Arno's love interest is a Templar called Elsie De LaSerre, the daughter of the Templar Grandmaster who adopted Arno, also sets out to investigate her father's death and relation to the growing ideological change within the Templar Order that threatens its core values.

The game retains the series' third person open world exploration as well as introducing an improved melee combat and stealth system. Assassin's Creed Unity also introduces cooperative multiplayer to the Assassin's Creed series, letting up to four players engage in the narrative driven missions and explore the open-world map. Combat of the game was rebuilt, with fencing being used as the inspiration for the new system. In addition to weapons from the previous games, Assassin's Creed Unity introduces the Phantom Blade which uses mechanics of crossbow to fire a silent projectile a great distance, while still serving the same purpose as a hidden blade. These and more are the reasons for the high anticipation of the game to be soon released.
