SAN FRANCISCO November 11, 2014 Today, Ubisoft announced that two Assassins Creed games launch today for all players: Assassins Creed Unity, the latest installment of the award-winning franchise set against the backdrop of the chaos and brutality of the French Revolution, is now available on the Xbox One games and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC; and Assassins Creed Rogue, available for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PlayStation3 computer entertainment system.

Set in a once-magnificent Paris, Assassins Creed Unity plunges into the terror of the 1789 French Revolution and features the most dense and immersive Assassins Creed city ever created. In this time of chaos and brutality, a young man named Arno, wounded by the loss of those he loved, sets on a deadly path of redemption. Arnos pursuit throws him into the middle of a ruthless struggle for the fate of a nation, and transforms him into a true Master Assassin.

Assassins Creed Unity reinvents the franchise, starting with the core gameplay pillars that have defined the series from the beginning: navigation, stealth and combat. Players will carve their way through a stunning, full-scale open-world Paris, thanks to the power of the new Anvil engine, rebuilt from the ground up for new generation consoles. Players can channel their inner Assassin, customizing weapons, equipment, outfits and specialized skills to match their play style.

In addition to the sprawling single-player campaign, players can join with up to three friends and take part in story-driven online co-op missions designed specifically for Assassins to play together. Skills and unique gear acquired in the single-player missions will be accessible in co-op and will define a players personalized Assassins style, whether emphasizing brute force, agility or stealth. Players also will select a unique co-op skill that will help the team survive, evade or fight more effectively to the benefit of the team.

Assassins Creed Rogue, available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 owners, is set in the middle of the 18th century during the Seven Years War, Assassins Creed Rogue gives players new locations across North America to explore, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley and New York.

As Shay Patrick Cormac, players suffer the brotherhoods betrayal and transform into an Assassin hunter.
