Assassin’s Creed: Unity, which will be released in October, will include a special ‘challenge mode’ in which gamers can play with various familiar characters from previous Assassin’s Creed games, according to images that appeared online. Altaïr, Ezio and Edward Kenway, among others, are playable.
The special missions are called Rift missions and they allow gamers to complete a certain course as quickly as possible. In addition, those gamers can compare their performance with that of their friends. The ‘rifts’ move players from the game world of Unity to other places and times in the Assassin’s Creed universe, where Unity’s story requires the collection of bits of data, according to a post on Reddit by someone who claims to have owned the game. to test. The poster has footage of the gameplay of the game mode, but does warn of spoilers.
Altaïr, Ezio Auditore and Edward Kenway each have a level, but Aveline and a few other characters also pass by. Florence and the Caribbean are mentioned as locations, but the presence of the Borgias suggests that Rome could also be a stage.
The Rift missions introduce a new kind of multiplayer gameplay in Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Earlier, Ubisoft already showed the possibilities that gamers have to play the game with up to four players cooperatively. However, this comes at the expense of the competitive multiplayer mode that was previously always in the Assassin’s Creed games. So the Rift missions seem to be the only way for gamers to go head-to-head in Unity.
