Hoods can decrease a guard's reaction time as well as increase the radius of Eagle Sense.

There are around 200 choices for Arno's gear, which can benefit gameplay:

The player will be able to upgrade all of Arno's skills, given his objective is to become a Master Assassin. He can also unlock a disguise skill to escape pursuing guards. Like other skills, it can be upgraded with experience points at the player's discretion. For example, Arno can possess Eagle Pulse, which allows him to sense how many guards are in a location he intends to infiltrate. The Assassins' weapons and appearance are customizable, while experience gained can be spent on four different specialties: 'Melee' (offense), 'Health' (defense), 'Ranged' (navigation), and stealth. For example, choosing to stalk a target will lead to a chase if they detect you, as opposed to causing desynchronization. Memoriesįor memories, instead of the player being given a series of objectives, Ubisoft has developed the Adaptive Mission Mechanic, which gives players several potential paths to complete a mission. Unlike previous games however, an assassination is not deemed successful until Arno has escaped after performing it. Contextual clues are provided to allow the player to choose and plan their own approach, rather than follow a linear, pre-determined path to the target. Īssassinations in the game are referred to as 'black box missions,' and harken to the style of gameplay from the first Assassin's Creed. Social Stealth has been improved upon with a special crouching mode activated by button, and combat has been made more tactical to feel more realistic: counter kills were removed. Haystacks have been largely removed in favor of allowing players to control their descent from rooftops, and the controls for freerunning up and down are now separate. When standing on rooftops, a button can display 3D objects like alarm bells to help the player strategize. Even empty buildings may have unlockable rooms with treasures inside. Players will able to explore the city's entirety, including seamless interiors and the catacombs of Paris, with landmarks like Notre-Dame having a quarter of the building's interior playable.

As the game is exclusive to next-generation consoles and PC, it will enable renderings of Paris to 1:1 scale and crowds numbering in the thousands.
