Unveiling Hidden Secrets: Epic Revelation Found in Assassin's Creed Unity after 150 Hours

Highlights

Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, the game chronicles the journey of Arno Dorian, the protagonist, as he deftly maneuvers through the chaos of the revolution and encounters notable historical figures along the way.

After playing the game for 150 hours, a Reddit user stumbled upon a previously undiscovered "blend in" animation, leaving the Assassin's Creed community both surprised and impressed.

One player of Assassin's Creed Unity shared an exceptional animation they found after investing 150 hours into the game. With the game's release, it was evident that it was the series' most ambitious installment thus far, with its vast number of non-playable characters and the meticulous attention to detail in the expansive open-world for players to explore. Despite the initial problems that plagued the game, over time, certain longtime Assassin's Creed players have developed a newfound appreciation for Ubisoft's portrayal of the French Revolution, particularly highlighted by the revelation of this newly-discovered animation.

Assassin's Creed Unity, released in 2014, transports players to Paris during the French Revolution. The game centers around Arno Dorian, a French aristocrat who joins the Assassins after uncovering his familial ties to the order while seeking revenge for his father's and adopted father's deaths. Throughout his journey, Dorian encounters historical figures like Napoleon, the Marquis de Sade, and Maximilien Robespierre as the revolution unfolds.

One notable feature of the game was the large crowds in the city, allowing players to blend in and avoid detection. While some blend animations were generic, such as conversations or sitting on a bench, unique animations would occasionally appear in certain circumstances. During exploration in Unity, a Reddit user named M4TTHEW35 discovered a distinctive animation where Dorian assists a bystander in holding up a carriage while another person fixes one of the wheels.

M4TTHEW35 and several users in the thread expressed surprise at the discovery, noting that they had not seen a cart blend animation like this in Unity or any other Assassin's Creed games. Other users shared their own accidental experiences of discovering different blend-in animations, with one mentioning finding a "market stall" animation near the Cafe Theater in Unity.

This clip is just one example of the growing love within the Assassin's Creed community for the game, despite its flaws. This renewed appreciation has led to the release of mods for Unity, which have helped the game overcome its technical issues that hindered its success upon initial launch.

Assassin's Creed Unity is currently available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
