This fan has an interesting theory about the time anomaly that sticks Arno in the middle of World War 2 France in Assassin’s Creed Unity. Apparently, the time anomaly is not a side mission, and is actually key to the story.
Based on this theory, the time anomalies take the place of the modern missions from previous games. In them, the Assassins task the player with finding artifacts, or investigating for evidence, for something that was lost or happened in that time.
Recently, a guide was released prior to release. The guide’s index shows that there are, in fact, three time anomalies planned for the game, all set in the Paris bridge. They occur in the years 1898, 1944, and 1394, and the last one occurs close to the end.
However, at this point I deviate from this theory. Our source claims the last mission is set at the year of the passing of Jacques de Molay, and he thinks Ubi has something special planned for that part of the game. However, this happened in 1314, not 1394 as indicated in the page guide.
So, either this was a misprint on said guide, or Ubisoft is alluding to a different event. Incidentally, 1394 does have a notable historical event in France. It was the year Charles VI ordered the expulsion of the Jewish community from the country.
What do you think about this theory? Is it possible there is no misprint, and Ubi has something planned for a 1394 mission? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.
Assassin’s Creed Unity will be released on November 11 on Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Check out our source video, courtesy ACConspiracies, below.
