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

3. Actually Being Able To Hide Effectively

It's amazing it's taken this long - considering that these games are primarily about stealth - but Unity will mark the first time in the series' history that you actually have a crouch option to hide yourself more effectively. There's also a renewed focus on stealth alongside the revamped combat and parkour systems. It sounds daft even as we write this, but we're genuinely excited to be able to hide ourselves effectively with a crouch mechanic rather than being seen for the umpteenth time as you try to position yourself behind a piece of terrain unsuccessfully. Better yet, there's even really snazzy-looking cinematic stealth kills which make it all the more rewarding to be sneaky. Partnering up with your mates and stealthily taking down a group of enemies looks like a genuine thrill and this revamped focus on stealth really looks like the shot in the arm the AC series needs.
