The upcoming free-running assassination game is being made so it is a new beginning to the Assassin's Creed franchise.

Ubisoft has prommised that this year's Assassin's Creed Unity is the best place to start if you have never played an Assassin's Creed game. Unity is ment to be a new starting point for the franchise, it will take a different approach to the modern-day story and beginning a "new cycle of Assassin's Creed games."

In a video posted on Ubisoft's YouTube channel, creative director Alex Amancio mentions that Unity, in a sense, makes a clean break from the past games. "It's a new start, it's a new narrative start," Amancio explains. "That is symbolized by a completely new context for the present day. You've seen a little bit of an evolution with [Assassin's Creed IV:] Black Flag. We're not going to do the same thing. What we're doing with Unity is really the beginning [of] this new cycle of Assassin's Creed games."

He continued on to say that there won't be a better time for new players to try out the series. "I would say that Assassin's Creed Unity is the best entry point for the franchise since [Assassin's Creed 1]."

Assassin's Creed Unity launches on October 28, exclusivley for PlayStation 4, Xbox One PC.
