Centuries before the events of Assassin's Creed Unity, one of France's most extraordinary treasures was housed in the Louvre: the French Crown Jewels. Rich in history, mystery and intrigue, these priceless jewels have witnessed royal ceremonies, revolutions and even one of the most famous thefts in French history. Now it's your turn to investigate.

It could be a coincidence, it could be serendipity, or it could all fit together like one of those twisty artwork puzzles from Assassin's Creed 2. Either way, ever since the Olympics first started in Paris, Assassin's Creed Unity, the once-maligned 2014 entry in Ubisoft's tentpole stealth series, set during the French Revolution, has grown and grown in popularity on Steam. Maybe people are watching the Games and want to take a virtual tour of Paris themselves. Whatever the reason, ahead of Assassin's Creed Shadows, and a decade since its original release, AC Unity is having a moment in the sol

Rendering cutscenes in-engine carries with it certain hazards. As Assassin's Creed Unity players may know, glitches can undermine an otherwise dramatic moment. But, as wild as that game's wandering Frenchmen are, Baldur's Gate 3 has it beat. Watch as this fantasy RPG game's bumbling bard comes to an unexpected and explosive end in a brilliant Baldur's Gate 3 scene. Read the rest of the story...

Assassin's Creed Mirage is almost upon us, so what better way to prepare than with a trip through the series' past? Fortunately, developer Ubisoft delivers, with a huge Assassin's Creed sale giving you up to 80% off all the games ahead of the Assassin's Creed Mirage release date, alongside the likes of Far Cry and The Division. With everything from the first game through to Assassin's Creed Valhalla up for grabs, you'll be spoilt for choice with some of the best open-world games around. Read the rest of the story...

Assassin's Creed Unity gets a bit of a bad rap. It launched in a sorry state, but the Ubisoft's iteration of revolutionary Paris and four-player co-op were great additions to the stealth game series. This is why, after nine years, hearing about an Assassin's Creed Unity mod that aims to issue a load of fixes and improvements is great, as it gives us a brilliant reason to revisit it.

I've avoided the best Assassin's Creed game since 2014 and it's all my own stupid fault. In the days and weeks following the release of Assassin's Creed Unity, I watched in horror as faceless character models flooded social media, dampening a launch that was already muted by a tepid critical response. According to Metacritic, Unity has the lowest overall review score of any mainline release in the series. Read the rest of the story...

Is Assassin’s Creed Unity a better game now that the real-world cathedral Notre-Dame de Paris has been gutted by fire? That’s the question I’ve had rolling around the back of my head for a few weeks. Ubisoft gave away their open-world murder simulator, which visits a virtual Paris circa 1789, for free in April after the fire and soon received a spike of positive player reviews on Steam. This caused store owners Valve to mutter about the idea of “positive review bombs” and how changing context can a game seem better. So, has Unity become a better game because it
2019-05-22 12:57 UTC · Eurogamer
In an extended blog post that reads like a first year philosophy student essay, Valve has been debating what counts as a Steam review bomb. With itself. The company's confusion was prompted by the recent surge in positive reviews for Assassin's Creed: Unity, which Ubisoft made available for free on Uplay in the aftermath of the Notre Dame fire (along with donating €500,000 to help with restoration efforts). Naturally, the move was incredibly popular with players, and despite its free release on a different platform prompted a spike in player reviews on Steam. But does this count as a rev

When Valve implemented Steam’s anti-review-bombing policy in March – manual exclusion of “off topic” review clusters from a game’s overall score – they’d not given much thought to what a ‘positive’ review bomb could look like. Just one month later, Notre Dame cathedral goes up in holy smoke and Ubisoft bring in a flood of positive press (and reviews) for Assassin’s Creed Unity through a Uplay giveaway and a half-million-dollar donation to help rebuild the landmark. This has led Valve to a rare bit of public introspection on how they s

Assassin's Creed Unity is currently getting the review-bomb treatment on Steam - but this time it's a little different. This week Ubisoft gave Unity away for free for a limited time following the devastating fire at the Notre-Dame de Paris, and donated half a million euros to the restoration effort. Unity is of course set in Paris, 1789 amid the French Revolution, and features a virtual reconstruction of the famous medieval Catholic cathedral. Read more

Ubisoft has announced that, following Monday's devastating fire which caused extensive damage to Notre-Dame cathedral, it will be donating €500,000 to Paris' reconstruction efforts. And as an additional gesture, Assassin's Creed Unity is currently free on PC. "As the smoke clears on the events that unfolded on Monday at the Notre-Dame de Paris," Ubisoft wrote on its blog, "we stand in solidarit with our fellow Parisians and everyone around the world moved by the devastation the fire caused. Notre-Dame is an integral part of Paris, a city to which we are deeply connected. Seeing the monum
