Assassin's Creed: Unity gameplay video shows 12 minutes of new mechanics

Amid the churn of 30 second CGI trailers and cleverly cut (but mostly useless) 'gameplay' videos , it's nice to see Assassin's Creed: Unity played for a full 12 minutes with no interruptions. The video above details the new installment's revamped stealth systems, and demonstrates the increased freedom afforded to players this time around. It also looks pretty damn fine.

Assassin's Creed and Ubisoft have been in the news all week: the company confirmed at Gamescom that Unity will feature micro-transactions allowing users to "fast track" progress, which caused quite a stir. Meanwhile, Ubisoft wants to improve its reputation among PC gamers.
