Assassin's Creed Unity is in line for some big changes, with four-player co-op set to be among them. With the AC series looking to expand its scope beyond anything seen to this point, it was a good time to speak to Ubisoft Design Director Bruno St-Andre about what's coming to the latest installment.

Our own Steven Wong asked St-Andre about how the co-op campaign will work and what will be available to friends looking to jump into the French Revolution together. St-Andre also discusses more of the gameplay aspects of the game, before going into how long Unity's been in development. As it turns out that it's been in the works since before Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.

Check out the videos below to learn more about AC Unity. The top video will discuss the gameplay elements, while the bottom video will offer background information on Unity's story.

Assassin's Creed Unity is coming to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on October 28.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
