The Eiffel Tower features in Assassin's Creed Unity, a game set in the French Revolution of 1789, despite not being built until 1887.
How is that possible? Well, a new trailer from Ubisoft shows protagonist Arno Dorian venturing through a "time anomaly" in the Animus, which sees him arrive in a Paris of the 1940s under German occupation in World War 2. After landing in a metro tunnel and narrowly escaping an on-coming train, Arno climbs the Eiffel Tower and uses a conveniently placed machine gun to take on some airplanes.
Ubisoft has confirmed that World War 2 is one of the most requested setting for an Assassin's Creed game and it's possible they're teasing a future project.
It's not clear how much of Unity will be set during the 20th century or whether the game's much touted co-op will feature in this part of the game, but either way, you can check the trailer below.
Assassin's Creed Unity launches on November 11th for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
