Ahead of its Nov. 11 release date, Assassin's Creed: Unity has unraveled the efforts behind creating the set of the anticipated action adventure title.

"Assassin's Creed Unity's vision of Paris is more alive than any Assassin's Creed setting to date. From the possibility of thousands of NPCs on screen at a time to the sheer depth of activities, Unity promises a more immersive experience than ever before," Ubisoft's Anne Lewis said.

The studio immensely focused on set design to capture the intricate and unique flavors of Paris during the French Revolution.

"For example, you may find yourself in Île de la Cité. This is a more religious district and has a gothic flair to the architecture. Art Director Mohamed Gambouz describes Île de la Cité as a more "mystic" and "spooky" district, with its wooden structures and spiky, triangular rooftops. This area also has a high number of cemeteries, so the team added a lot of mist to further enhance the eerie sensation," Lewis explained further.

Gary Steinmen, Senior Communications Manager at Ubisoft revealed the PC specs for the game.
