Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity was most likely never meant to be revealed this early. Leaked images appeared not too long for the game which showcased its French Revolution setting, new protagonist and parkouring mechanics. Ubisoft then revealed a teaser trailer for the game and announced it would be out for PS4, Xbox One and PC in the holiday season.
Interestingly, when it comes to parkouring, Ubisoft may be adding more than we think. Responding in the YouTube comments section, parkour artist Jesse La Flair said, “What if I told you I may or may not have worked on the NEXT AC and they may or may not have added the ability to Horizontal Wall Run in the game.”
You can of course take this with a grain of salt. Also, there’s the small matter of which Assassin’s Creed he’s talking about, since another title – Comet – is apparently in development as well. Nonetheless, would it be cool? We’ll have to wait and find out so stay tuned.
