Since Assassinâs Creed: Unity wonât be making an appearance on last-gen systems, it wont be making any compromises with what the developers can do in the game. Itâs a game built entirely around new hardware. And damn if it doesnât show, based on the footage that Ubisoft debuted today during E3.
The scene opens with an assassin staring down at a crowd of peopleâand our reaction at Kotaku HQ was definitely âwow, that is a lot of people.â
You can see this in action here:
The rest of the demo goes on to show the franchiseâs standard sneaking and scaling, but where it really shines is in the level of detail. This world actually feels populated, and thatâs rare for a video game. The amount of people almost seems overwhelming at times. Itâs impressive. Weâd seen the gameâs locale, France, before--but not like this.
Assassinâs Creed: Unity will feature 4 player co-op, which we saw in action earlier during Microsoftâs E3 presentation.
