E3 2014: Assassin's Creed Unity E3 Poster Shows Four Characters

I think they'll be the four musketeers.

why wont ass creed die already

its the lamest game i ever saw in my life

I'm not sure how people can keep buying these games. I'm not saying their purchasing decisions are wrong but to me each game feels exactly like the last. I couldn't stomach more of the same gameplay after Platinum-ing the admittedly well made ACII.

4 generic characters...

Oh! The awesomeness!

Game is called "Unity" and it now has four characters in it. I'm guessing it means either:

A. Four person co-op

B. A situation similar to GTAV where you play as each of the different characters at different times

If it is A then I am completely not interested. If it is B, then I'm actually kind of excited...depending on whether they are all four actually GOOD characters.

It's AC Brotherhood all over again, but in France I think. That guy on the right seems to have a very french-looking moustache which supports my theory.

4-player co-op?

The series is alive because of the ongoing hype for it. When the first game came out in 2006, alot of people got excited because the graphics was outstanding for it's time. However, the gameplay was repetitive and boring due to the awkward controls and poor mission design. Till this day I can't comprehend what people find fun in this series, even with all the improvements Ubisoft made. I honestly can't stand these games (though I have to say the story element of AC2 was very touching).

I think that means the templars and assassins will probably unite in this sequel. Hopefully this will be the finale and Ubisoft can focus on improving watchdogs now

I hope that it means that you can hire assassins again... and have a crew...

Co-op AC... hmm. I wonder if they're copying the Splintercell Blacklist model for this. At least that felt additive to the game and not something tacked on or outside the main game.

It's four player local co-op. Kinda obvious

I see the Gaming Hive Mind has now moved on to hate on the AC games too. They were getting pretty popular with the general public after all. Nice and predictable as always.

Three caucasian males = ALERT FEMINISTS AND WHITE KNIGHTS INCOMING!!

The most logical explanation is the Brotherhood will be coming back to be used as a tool [or perhaps much more] once again. Thus the title "Unity". Not exactly breaking news.

Assassin's creed needs to take a break. The game is not that great and they keep on popping them out like hotcakes.

Maybe it's a four musketeers kind of story. The name "Unity" suggests there are more characters or groups involved, joining forces, to fight one mutual enemy...something like that.

Here's a picture - you guys make up the story.

Eddie Makuch at his best.

It means that there are 4 Assassins pictured.

Multiple protagonists?

Each one represents all the yearly sequels we will be getting this gen.

Those four guys are: Altair, Ezio, Connor and Edward. Piece of cake.

A good idea if it is going to be 4 player co-op. It has to be said, even better if offline mode also allowed. It doesn't exist these days.

Are any of these characters female by chance? Or are we getting the generic mid-20s, white, male archetype in 4 very similar bland flavors?

Could just be other Assassins you can train. Brotherhood made it seem like there could be something like co-op going on through trailers and looks. There seemed to be different Assassins trained in different arts and disciplines at first in that game. I would say not to believe the hype this time around, but who knows.

I don't think it means a GTAV-style multi-character single player game. I think this is a hint at the new "multiplayer experience" they've been talking about. Maybe drop-in/drop-out online co-op? Or something?
