The plot is set in a [[historical fiction|fictional history]] of real-world events and follows the millennia-old struggle between the [[Order of Assassins|Assassins]], who fight to preserve peace and free will, and the [[Knights Templar|Templars]], who desire peace through control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and features an unidentified and unseen protagonist, who joins the Assassins as an initiate to help them locate the corpse of an 18th-century Templar Grand Master. The main story is set in [[Paris]] during the [[French Revolution]] from 1789 to 1794, and follows Assassin [[Arno Dorian]] and his efforts to expose the true powers behind the Revolution, while seeking revenge against those responsible for his adoptive father's murder. ''Unity'' retains the series' [[Virtual camera system#Third-person view|third-person]] [[open world]] exploration as well as introducing revamped combat, parkour, and stealth systems. The game also introduces [[Cooperative video game|cooperative multiplayer]] to the ''Assassin's Creed'' series, letting up to four players engage in narrative-driven missions and explore the open world map.
''Assassin's Creed Unity'' received mixed reviews upon release. It was praised for its visuals, customization options, setting, and characterization. Its narrative, gameplay, mission design, and multiplayer-oriented format received more divided opinions. The game was also [[List_of_video_games_notable_for_negative_reception#Assassin's_Creed_Unity_(2014)|widely panned]] for its numerous graphical issues and [[Software bug|bug]]s, prompting Ubisoft to issue an apology and offer compensation in the form of a free [[Expansion pack|expansion]], ''Dead Kings'', which acts as an epilogue to the base game's story. Players who had bought the game's [[Season pass (video games)|season pass]] (which was later made unavailable for purchase in response to the controversy) additionally received a free copy of another Ubisoft title of their choice. Despite the initial critical reception, ''Unity'' was a commercial success, selling over 10 million units by May 2020. Despite the initial negative reception it was received more positively over time. It was followed in October 2015 by ''[[Assassin's Creed Syndicate]]'', which continues the modern-day narrative, but has its main plot set in [[Victorian era]] [[London]].
