Assassin’s Creed Unity ‘Arno Master Assassin’ CG Trailer Ramps up the Action

Ubisoft has released a new trailer for their upcoming game Assassin’s Creed Unity. 

The new trailer, titled “Arno Master Assassin Trailer” differs from previous trailers in the fact that it’s done entirely in CGI, portraying the game’s protagonist Arno Dorian as he attempts to rescue a prisoner who would be a victim from a grisly end at the guillotine. The new character's name is Elise. 

This new trailer for Assassin’s Creed Unity shows Arno racing against time through a dense and chaotic central Paris in order to prevent the beheading of Elise, a character central to Assassin’s Creed Unity’s story. As an independent young noblewoman, Elise is determined to secure her place in the Templar dynasty amidst the chaos of the French Revolution. Her quest leads her to cross paths with Arno and establish an unlikely bond with him.  

Elise will also be featured in a new paperback, also titled Assassin’s Creed Unity, by Oliver Bowden from Penguin Random House. The story examines an era when the divide between the rich and poor is at its most extreme, and a nation is tearing itself apart. Told from Elise’s perspective, Assassin’s Creed Unity follows her and Arno as they are drawn into the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars. In a world with dangers more deadly than they could ever have imagined, they must fight to avenge all they have lost. Assassin’s Creed Unity builds on Bowden’s past Assassin’s Creed novels with millions sold to-date.

Assassin’s Creed Unity will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC October 28th.
