Ubisoft has set the 28th of October as the release date for one of its most awaited installments yet, Assassin's Creed Unity.

For Assassin's Creed Unity, Ubisoft is returning to where it all began: the heart of Europe, mid-18th century and surrounded by the chaos of the French Revolution.

Arno Dorian, the game's protagonist, will not only wrestle with the challenges facing the Brotherhood, he will also be wrestling with his affection towards a beautiful, young Templar named Elise.

Can love between two people from opposing factions blossom during these dark times? How will the Brotherhood receive Arno's decision?

Assassin's Creed's return to Europe was a move that Ubisoft made to "go back to our core values," creative director Alexandre Amancio reveals; and the large metropolis that is Paris in the 18th century just happens to be the ideal environment for the Assassin Brotherhood.

In terms of gameplay, Gamespot reports that over players can interact with crowds of over 30,000 characters within the game. Players can also extensively explore 18th century Paris including its landmarks: the Catacombs and the Notre Dame Cathedral.

For those expecting to find the Eiffel Tower, this landmark was built in the early 1900s and will obviously not appear within the game's timeframe.

In an interview with VideoGamer, Ubisoft technical director James Therien also addressed rumors that Unity would have two main playable characters: Arno, and a female, possibly Elise.

According to Ubisoft, the default character will be Arno, and while Elise will play a central role in the game, she will not be a playable character. Therien further adds that adding two playable characters could double the workload for the entire team.

Assassin's Creed Unity will be available for PC, Xbox One and PS4 when it drops this October.
