2	* AscendedMeme: The FanNickname for Arno and the Assassins after the E3 trailer was The Backstreet Boys, and fanon quickly made Arno an addict of baguettes. Cue the game coming out, and the achievement for doing a co-op mission being called The Baguette Boyband.
3	* ChristmasRushed: The game had an [[https://www.polygon.com/2014/11/14/7223023/assassins-creed-unity-fix infamously disastrous release]], with plenty of bugs, [[invoked]]{{porting disaster}}s and major PR issues for Creator/{{Ubisoft}}.
4	* CreatorBacklash: Ubisoft [[http://www.polygon.com/2015/5/12/8593359/ubisoft-mess-assassins-creed-unity openly disowned the game]] during the launch of ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedSyndicate'', feeling that it did not measure to the series' high standards.
5	* DuelingGames: An odd example of such as it is two games ''within the same franchise.'' The biggest rivalry for Unity fans is ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedRogue'', which was released the same day.
6	* FakeNationality: Creator/DanJeannotte, who is Canadian, is playing the French/Austrian Arno Dorian with a British accent.
7	* FollowTheLeader: The multiple-pathways approach to the mission design, with side-missions providing alternate methods of entry and exit, and different techniques of assassinations is quite similar to the level design of ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}''.
8	* RereleasedForFree: Along with Ubisoft's support to the restoration effort after the Notre-Dame cathedral fire on 15 April 2019, they decided to [[https://news.ubisoft.com/en-us/article/348227/supporting-notre-dame-de-paris offer the game for free]] on Uplay between 18 and 25 April 2019 to experience the game's beautiful rendition of the cathedral (for players who hadn't already).
9	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
10	** Female Assassins for co-op were considered, but [[http://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/27ut97/distinct_lack_of_female_characters_due_to/ci5z8i7 it was decided that it would have meant that something else would have been cut.]]
11	** Arno was originally going to be paired up with a young child thief, but that idea was dropped due to fear of creating a {{Scrappy}}. Eventually that idea would be recycled in ''Dead Kings'' in the form of Leon.
12	** The original concept for ''Unity'' was inspired by ''Film/TheRedViolin'', i.e. following artifacts as they changed hands through the centuries and showing Paris in multiple eras. This was regarded as too ambitious but the idea survived to form the "Time Anomalies" feature and the Jacques de Molay prologue.
13	** Initially, [[TheHeroDies Arno was intended to die]] at the end of his story.
