It looked like the new-gen-only Assassin's Creed game would be sticking only to the time period of the French Revolution. Nope. Somehow, lead character Arno will wind up smack dab in the middle of World War II, with machine guns and everything.

A new trailer for Assassin's Creed Unity shows some kind of spacetime disturbance taking Arno from the time of guillotines to era of Nazi occupation. A late-2013 Ubisoft survey about the future of Assassin's Creed had floated the idea of an AC game letting players explore a city through different era. That's one of the few things that hadn't appeared as a feature for this year's AC games yet, but today's trailer suggests that may indeed be an element of Unity after all.

Take my fucking money now Ubisoft

I don't care about ac being a yearly thing, it's so good.

Ubisoft promised this wouldn't happen...

They wouldn't make a full game set in WWII

Either way, it preserves the concept of Assassins Creed staying pre-modern area but still gives people the option to play in the modern era. Win-win for everybody

I really wish they would have kept this secret. It would have totally surprised me

Time rift in the Animus...it would be visually impressive to see Paris flickering through multiple time periods as you're being chased/chasing a target.

Judging by the content in the Season Pass, it just may be in WWII. But it's kinda similar to that with Revelations with the flash backs. If anything, I can see time rifts happening in the next game if the reception for the DLC is good enough

The animus isn't a time machine you know.

I know that dipshit.

That's a grey area

It's a simulation that accesses a person's DNA/memories and transports them to those memories back in time. So it's kinda like a time machine, just not how we'd expect it to operate. The simulation-time rift seems it can happen if the user has other ancestral memories from a different era, like how you see it in Revelations with the split between Altair, Ezio, and Desmond

Okay. Chill the fuck out.

You just always have to be a smartass to everyone...

It's not a grey area.
The Animus reads the genetic memories that are "coded" into your DNA, and that's it. It doesn't transport you anywhere, because it's just a projection of your ancestor's life.

The whole Ezio-Altair stuff in Revelations is different.
Ezio was actually seeing the memories that Altair had recorded onto the memory seals; the Altair memories in Revelations aren't through genetic memories. Desmond views them through Ezio; a memory  being viewed within a memory.

Ezio isn't even a descendent of Altair. The only relation they have is through Desmond.

That's nearly interesting enough to get my interest in the series again... if only I knew that it wouldn't play out as the same exact  mission over an 8 hour campaign again...

You're just a snide little asshole on every forum you post on, always have to be the smart ass. Get a life besides playing video games all day.

Who pissed in your cereal?

Nothing, and I apologize. It's time for me to get off the internet for a while.

Brb going to repress memories

Missions will adapt.
For example, if you were to fail a tail mission but get caught, it'll then turn into a chase mission.
Or if there's a chase mission but you lose the target, you'll need to investigate and find him/her.

Would you rather forced tail missions and eavsdrop missions?

Good, now what about the Feudal Japan and Good Modern era that people keep asking for too?

They said why they aren't doing Japan in the forseeable future.
