The biggest thing happening for the game Assassin’s Creed: Unity this year, is the addition of Cooperative missions. Unfortunately, all the information is scattered in various videos across the net, and so in order not to let your head spin around too much, we have accumulated these information into three categories below. So lets have a look now shall we?
PLAYING WITH FRIENDS
Ubisoft has stated that players will be able to roam around the city of Paris Aimlessly with their friends in the game, i.e. if they wish or if the players feel like playing a bit of co-op, they can find out which of their friends are online by entering certain “taverns” which will contain a representation all the friends who are online and will also tell you what they are up to, all you have to do is join their session and get on with it.
The game will feature multiple types of special “ communal skills” that the gamers will be able to utilize while playing co-op mode. There is a “Communal sense” which is basically an eagle vision where the information that the player receives can be shared with their fellow assassins. The other feature added is the “Disguise” where the players will be able to disguise themselves and their fellow assassins as normal Parisians. Lastly, there is the “Group Healing” and the “ Assassin’s Cache” where members of a particular team will be able to replenish bomb loads for everyone and heal one another.
CUSTOMIZATION
When players are in the co-op mode, they will be using Arno, the character played in the single player story missions. However, the Arno will not be just a random one, you can customize the Arno that you play and the level of customization available in Assassins Creed: unity looks to be like the most varied of any Assassin’s creed game ever!
You will be able to change weapons, armors, clothing style and much more. You can even choose to go bare in stealth mode or go heavy armored. The color of the clothing and the shape of the hood can also be changed. Ubisoft promises a thousand of different variations.
Apart from this, players will also be able to choose skills from varied skill trees hat will be ranged, melee, health or stealth. Each tree will have skills that will benefit different types of play- style but of course, players will be ale to mix and match to create the Arno that is fit.
THE BROTHERHOOD MISSION
The co-op missions have been dubbed to “Brotherhood Missions”. These missions will be different than the “ murder mysteries” and the heists. It has been confirmed that the Brotherhood missions will not be a part of the main story of the game Assassin’s Creed Unity but will have a different story line of its own.
The player will be playing Arno of course but the missions in this mode will not be related to him.
Lastly, Ubisoft plans and hopes to increase replay ability of the missions by having them varied each play through so that the players will not have to run the exact map over and over again.
Assassin’s Creed Unity will be released on November 11th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC.
