Assassin’s Creed: Unity is only coming to current-gen and PC, that is probably the reason why the developer didn’t need to compromise their goals to fit it into last-gen’s hardware, and its technical limitations.
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot spoke to Ubisoft Blog saying, “It’s a game that takes full advantage of the new gen, It’s really a good demonstration of what those machines can do. And people are amazed.
“They didn’t expect those machines to deliver that level of graphics and animation quality, the depth of the number of people that can move in the environment, and so on. It’s helping the brand to have a new beginning with totally different possibilities.”
