This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Assassin's Creed Unity for PlayStation 4
Assassin's Creed Unity for PlayStation 4 follows Arno Dorian through Paris during the French Revolution. After the murder of his adoptive father, he becomes involved with the Assassins and a conspiracy hidden behind the public unrest. The city is built as one dense area, with crowded squares, palaces, churches and underground passages. Arno moves smoothly along façades and can climb down deliberately without always having to leap into a haystack.
Story assassinations provide information, entrances and opportunities that you can investigate first. You choose whether Arno reaches the target through an open window, a crowd, a hidden passage or a fight. The Phantom Blade fires small projectiles from his wrist. Weapons, clothing and skills change health, stealth and combat, allowing the same mission to unfold differently with a quiet or sturdier set of equipment.
The complete story campaign can be played alone and offline. Unity also had cooperative missions and heists for up to four players, but the current availability of network features is not promised and is not required for Arno's main story. Download packs, codes and later performance improvements on newer consoles are not automatically part of this PS4 disc. The product page describes the original PlayStation 4 edition.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Assassin's Creed Unity contains a complete offline campaign for one player on PlayStation 4. The former cooperative network features and downloadable content are not promised as available or included.
Manual
Assassin's Creed Unity for PlayStation 4 includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Assassin's Creed Unity
Ubisoft Montreal led Assassin's Creed Unity and Ubisoft released the game in November 2014 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows. It was the first main entry not developed simultaneously for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. That transition enabled a denser Paris, large crowds and more extensive interiors. The French Revolution formed the background to Arno's personal relationship with Élise and both secret orders.
The team renewed movement with a separate way to climb down and made assassination missions more open. Players could gather information and unlock different entrances or distractions. For the first time in a main entry, cooperating players received their own missions in the same city. Equipment became visible and affected attributes, so a chosen coat, belt or weapon was more than a cosmetic change.
Unity launched with technical problems and then received several patches. Ubisoft later made the Dead Kings expansion free, but that digital history does not change what is on every used disc or account. The core of the physical PS4 edition remains Arno's campaign in Paris. Later updates for PlayStation 5 can make the game run differently, but are not described as an original disc feature.
Similar games for PlayStation 4
Black Flag spreads Edward Kenway's adventure across islands and sea and makes his ship an important project. Unity concentrates on one dense Paris with interiors, crowds and targeted assassinations. Both combine stealth and open combat, but Black Flag rewards sea voyages and ship upgrades while Unity deepens routes through the city and personal equipment.
Syndicate builds on the large city, but moves the action to London in 1868 and lets you switch between Jacob and Evie. The rope launcher and carriages make travel faster. Unity follows only Arno, uses no gang of its own and places greater emphasis on slowly prepared assassinations and the background of the French Revolution.
Origins opens a much larger Egyptian landscape and uses levels, loot and a freer combat system. Unity maintains the older emphasis on urban climbing, crowds and planned assassinations. Bayek scouts camps with Senu and travels on horseback; Arno reads façades, windows and busy streets to get close to a target.
Shadow of Mordor combines climbing and stealth with the Nemesis system, in which orc officers remember what happened. Unity has no comparable enemy hierarchy and uses historical missions in Paris. Arno has crowds and refined climbing movements; Talion relies on supernatural powers and fast combat against larger groups.
Watch Dogs takes place in a modern open city and lets Aiden hack cameras, bridges and traffic systems. Unity uses the same hardware generation for a historical Paris without digital tools. Both offer routes over and through buildings, but Arno must climb physically and hide among citizens, while Aiden solves many problems remotely through his phone.
