Tired of Waiting for Assassin’s Creed Mirage? PC players might want to give 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity a second chance with this new 4K texture pack.
Say what you want about Assassin’s Creed Unity, but the game was ahead of its time when it was released on PC and the last-gen consoles. The 2014 title remains visually impressive to this day. The vision the team had with this game was impressive, but too bad the execution wasn’t upon release. The game will soon turn 10 years old, and since its initial release, it has received several updates, making it a must-play for fans of the older era of Assassin’s Creed games.
Meanwhile, fans of the series are eagerly waiting for the release of the next main installment in the series – Assassin’s Creed Mirage. This entry has yet to receive a release date, but recent rumors suggest that we’re looking at a 2024 release.
So while we wait, those on PC looking to get back into the older era of assassination attempts during the French Revolution might want to give Unity another go – complete with 4K character texture packs for the game’s story characters.
Created by modder ‘Instanity’, this 4K texture pack for Assassin’s Creed Unity further improves the look of Unity’s story characters, including Arno, Elilse, Bellec, Mirabeau, Germain, Rouille, Sivert, Sophie Trenet, Arno’s father, and many more. We’ve included some screenshots of this new mod down below:
Those interested can download this 1.8GB 4K texture pack from Nexusmods right here. Needless to say, is that this mod is only available for the PC version, and you’ll need to own the base game of Assassin’s Creed Unity in order to use it.
Assassin’s Creed Unity was released in 2014 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. Here’s what we had to say about the game in our launch review:
“Assassin’s Creed Unity encapsulates the city of Paris in a light that is definitely profound”, we wrote. “It’s vivid, it’s lively and it’s a breath of fresh air. It is, however, far from perfect and a majority of the game feels like it stays close to the older titles but adding in a newer game mechanic in terms of optional cooperative play and some better created side-missions.” We added, “This is not a bad thing to stick close to a formula that worked so well for Assassin’s Creed II and Brotherhood, but Ubisoft Montreal could have definitely put more effort and thought into truly making the game feel next generation other than creating a bigger Paris with repetitive A.I. types.”
