Where it sits in the series
Unity was the first main game made only for the Xbox One generation and was released on the same day as Rogue. It is followed by Syndicate. A mobile side-scroller, Arno’s Chronicles, loosely adapted its story but never came to Xbox. By the release dates on our game hubs, it came after Assassin’s Creed Liberation HD (15 January 2014) and before Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China (21 April 2015). It shares its release date with Assassin’s Creed Rogue.
