Former Ubisoft director: Assassin's Creed Unity is 'one of the most underestimated' games

Jean Guesdon, a former Assassin’s Creed brand director, says Unity is an overlooked entry in the series. He credits the game’s ambition — 1:1 Paris, interiors, large crowds, new parkour and integrated multiplayer — while acknowledging its problematic launch. Critics argue Unity offered a distinct creative direction before later Assassin’s Creed titles moved toward RPG design.

• Guesdon calls Unity "one of the most underestimated" AC games
• Launch issues stemmed from ambitious new tech and systems
• Design focused on a single, densely realised Paris setting
• Seen as an alternative direction before AC shifted to RPG-style entries
