With the release of Assassin’s Creed Unity coming up quick, they are pulling out all the stops and their newest trailer proves it. Introducing the next character to the story, Elise, a young noblewoman of the Templar dynasty. In the trailer you see a line of hooded characters being escorted to their deaths upon the guillotine. Main character, Arno, races against the clock along the Parisian rooftops and alleyways to the execution site. Along the way he sheds some blood, but all in a days work for an assassin! It isn’t until he finally reaches Elise that you see her Templar necklace in plain view. Then something strange happens, Arno frees Elise from her death and together they fight.
Anybody that is keen to the lore of the Assassin’s Creed universe is well aware that the Templars and the Assassins are mortal enemies, so why then is Arno saving this young Templar? To learn more you can play the game when it releases or you could read the paperback novel also titled Assassins Creed Unity, which is told from Elise’s perspective.
