14 DAY TRIAL // Assassin's Creed Unity has just received some more details about its actual missions, which range in difficulty depending on how many people might complete them via the cooperative mode, and even include murder mysteries and various Parisian stories.
Assassin's Creed Unity promises to set up a new stage for the old Ubisoft franchise, delivering a new protagonist, namely Arno Dorian, and a new historical setting, in the form of the French Revolution.
At E3 2014 last month, Ubisoft presented lots of gameplay footage with the new action adventure experience, confirming that it had a cooperative mode and lots of changed features.
Now, a list of new details has appeared online via Access the Animus, which quotes magazines that have had hands-on time with Unity.
First up, it seems that the cooperative mode is pushed rather hard onto players and they'll even be able to use microphones to set up their tactics. Those who don't have microphones will not be disadvantaged, according to the report, but no other details have been given.
Missions are rated in terms of difficulty between one and five stars. Some are designed for two people, while others require three or four to complete in a regular way. Players can try to complete such missions alone but they'll have a tougher time. Alternatively, three or four players can go on two-player missions and they'll have a much easier time.
In terms of solo missions, there are two new types of quests, in the form of Murder Mysteries and Paris Stories.
In Murder Mystery missions, players will be faced with a dead body and they must act as a detective, following clues and interrogating different people about the crime. They can make accusations and, if they solve it correctly, the player will gain the murder weapon and use it throughout the game.
In the Paris Stories quests, players will be faced with all sorts of goals and not all of them will be assassinations. They're all going to be quite different from one another and are based on things that happened or could have happened in Paris during the French Revolution.
Sometimes, these quests will require recognizing targets and tracing them using certain information, but players will have a free hand when it comes to dealing with the situation and reaching their goals.
You can bet that Ubisoft will share even more details about the gameplay in Assassin's Creed Unity in the following months ahead of the game's debut on PC, PS4, and Xbox One in October.
