It also has ties to ''[[Assassin's Creed Rogue]]'', which was released for the [[Seventh generation of video game consoles|previous generation consoles]] on the same day as ''Unity''.

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.
