Assassin's Creed: Unity Patch Features over 300 Bug Fixes

Assassin's Creed: Unity is a game that was plagued with a number of problems after its release. There have already been two major patches addressing some of these issues, but we're still left wondering how Unity even made it through Quality Assurance. Obviously, Ubisoft didn't want Unity and Far Cry 4 competing, as they are both developed by teams within the publisher. That still isn't a good enough excuse to release an unfinished game, though.

All of this said, Ubisoft has been doing a really fine job of fixing Unity. The two patches released so far have had ample fixes and a new update announced today has over 300 bug fixes coming for Unity. This should prove to make this latest Assassin's Creed title what it should have been directly after its release.

Here are a few of the major notes:
