Assassin's Creed: Unity - 10 Things We Can't Wait To Experience

10. Assassin Or Templar?

At first glance, our new Assassin, Arno, looks like just another hooded dude taking up the mantle from our last protagonist, Edward Kenway. This guy has an intriguing backstory though; he's originally born into an Assassin household, loses his family, gets adopted by the Templars, his Templar daddy gets killed, and he is welcomed back to the Assassin brotherhood to find out what's going down. It all happens to be in the midst of the French Revolution too. We also know that Arno has a love interest, Elise De La Serre, who just happens to be the daughter of a Templar Grandmaster. This conflict between the two sides we've seen constantly in the past appears to take on a new path with Unity; it appears that the lines between Assassin and Templar are being blurred and there's (hopefully) going to be a great deal of delving into the motives of both sides, rather than just the Assassins being good and the Templars being bad. One of the few highlights of Assassin's Creed 3 was the section where you played the start of the game as Haytham, a man who turned out to work for the Templars. It presented a very different side of the conflict, but was quickly forgotten about when Connor came into the picture. Hopefully Unity can fix this, delving into both sides of the story and the conflict Arno feels as he rises through the ranks of the Assassin brotherhood.
