Assassin’s Creed: Unity will be exclusive to PS4 and Xbox One, Ubisoft revealed today at Microsoft’s E3 press event.
The next entry in the hit series will let four players join forces to rage against the Ancien Régime in Revolutionary France, yet another 18th century game environment developers promise will be the biggest yet.
Ubisoft credits the dramatic growth in world size to the capabilities of the new hardware, and it’s hard not to cast memory back to GDC 2013 when the developers of Assassin’s Creed 3 demonstrated some of the systems that had to be shut off or avoided due to hardware requirements.
The online four-player co-op drew quite a cheer from the audience, and is certainly one of the biggest mechanical changes to the stealth slasher since the series was born.
While this might look like the end for the series on previous generation machines, Ubisoft is rumored to be working on a separate game for Xbox 360 and PS3.
