Yesterday we got our first proper look at last-gen only title Assassin's Creed Rogue courtesy of an eight minute gameplay trailer, but after seeing this 11 minute walkthrough for Assassin's Creed Unity, we're starting to really appreciate why publisher Ubisoft is keeping this one a current-gen exclusive.
Simply put, the city of Paris looks fantastic, and the level of detail on show is undoubtedly impressive. The video talks us through an early mission in which protagonist Arno has to get stabby with — you guessed it — a rich, ugly Templar. It obviously still looks a lot like Assassin's Creed, but the introduction of 'black box' mission design will supposedly allow you to tackle missions however you see fit. To us, this sounds like a real step in the right direction, as one of our biggest gripes about prior games has been that most objectives don't allow for much freedom when it comes to carrying out your usually bloody task.
Within the core mission, there'll also be side objectives that you can chase as well, which have a direct effect on how things play out. It's all neatly explained in the walkthrough that we've embedded, but do remember to let us know your thoughts on the franchise's future in the comments section below.

This is just pure pornographic! At least free(isn) roaming missions, real stealth kills, get in and out of the area! I can't wait for this.
DAMN this game looks good. I'm really excited to have seen that new rogue game play as well.. it has all the fun new mechanics that black flag introduced that I loved and unity has all new ways to play.. looks like I'll be buying two assasins creed games this year!
It's a real shame they don't evolve this game. If the ship in AC 4 is an evolution, count me out.
I can't wait to play this game, it looks awesome in every way.
That parkour down button. Changes the whole game.
@ztpayne7 There are a few obvious additions that you could argue should have been in the series a while ago, but still, it genuinely looks like a real refinement of the franchise.
Holy Schmidt!! I think I'm in love. I have played every single AC game but words can not describe how cool this game looks. Daaamn son!
@ShogunRok I hope I wasn't sounding sarcastic because I wasn't. I really think it changes the game a lot. A lot less accidental deaths this way. I actually love the setting as I took French for five years in school.
Sometimes I wish I could really get into Assassin's Creed. A stealth open world game with parkour hits on a lot of things I like. Then I buy it and I'm disappointed. I find them just okay. But I'm always ready to try the next one. This time is no different.
@ztpayne7 Oh no, I didn't read it as you being sarcastic — was just chirping in! And I agree, I think it's a simple addition that should make the game a lot more fluid and approachable when it comes to platforming.
anyone notice that the player character is actually acting like an assassin in this one rather than an agile warrior who just takes the enemy head-on or chases them in broad daylight among crowds.
@Wardysays agreed. This is the Assassin's Creed game we've all been waiting for, the true evolution of the series from what AC 2 established. Hopefully Arno as a character and the narrative in this game are up to the par the rest of this game is setting.
Different year, same boring garbage. These guys are worse than COD...I mean, Ubisoft makes us wait 3 years for a game that's exactly the same as the as the last one, whereas COD takes 1 year.
Also...here, you're still just following a minimap for 20 hours and spamming the attack button. At least in COD, there is some actual variety and skill involved.
