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

5. Unite With Your Assassin Chums

The name Unity ain't just a fancy way of not calling this Assassin's Creed 5; it mainly refers to the fact that this title is the first AC game to have true co-operative gameplay missions as optional extras alongside the main storyline. Building upon the popularity of the sort-of co-op game in Black Flag, Unity will have optional co-operative side missions where you'll recruit fellow gamers from taverns across the world and join them in a spot of Assassin fun. We've already seen the gameplay in action from the E3 2014 trailer, and we have to say it looks pretty darn snazzy. Rumour has it that the co-operative elements will also extend to other elements of the game; you might be wandering around completing a side mission when the game prompts you to complete a section faster than your friends could. This again builds upon the social interaction sections integrated into Black Flag. For those who are fans of single player only; never fear. Unity's co-op missions are separate entities; they're designed with every player playing as Arno in their own game, so the missions won't interfere with the overarching narrative. The missions will include activities such as - of course - assassinations, but there's also heist missions included as well. Let's just hope they don't take a year to implement those. We're looking at you, Grand Theft Auto Online.
