Assassin's Creed Unity's city stealth should have been the series' future, and its latest PS5 update…
Assassin's Creed Unity's urban density and city-stealth mechanics should have defined the series' future, but the pivot to RPG elements has sidelined this potential. The game's recent 60fps update on PlayStation 5 enhances its fluid movement and atmospheric stealth gameplay, reminiscent of its predecessor Syndicate.
