"We have been working on the new Assassin’s Creed for more than three years and although we weren’t quite ready to show you our full vision for a next-gen only AC, it seems Abstergo are trying to force our hand," said Unisoft.

"So here’s a true first look at in-game footage from Assassin’s Creed Unity. Stay tuned - we'll have many more exciting details for you in the months ahead."

The report from earlier this week stated the game was set in 18th-century Paris during the French Revolution.

It was also stated at the time another Assassin's Creed game was in the works for PS3 and Xbox 360, codenamed Comet.

Assassin's Creed: Unity is slated for a holiday 2014 release on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
