<p>Ubisoft&#8217;s latest intstallment in its long-standing franchise,<em> Assassin&#8217;s Creed Unity</em>, will not feature any naval-based gameplay.</p>
<p>The news was confirmed by Lesley Phord-Toy, producer on <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Unity</em>, who told<a title="‘Assassin’s Creed Unity’ has ‘no naval gameplay,’ parkour system elaborated " href="http://www.examiner.com/article/assassin-s-creed-unity-has-no-naval-gameplay-parkour-system-elaborated" target="_blank"> Examiner</a>, &#8220;There’s no naval gameplay in Assassin&#8217;s Creed Unity.”</p>
<p>&#8220;It goes back to the core idea of bringing Assassin’s Creed to new-gen. We wanted to give players more choices. There were two systems before, climbing and free running,” says Phord-Toy. &#8220;[We decided] to combine them so it really feels like parkour. You can go up, you can go down [easily]. [The changes we made] were about making the system more modern and giving players [more freedom]. It’s an open-world so we need to treat it as one.&#8221;</p>
