* 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}}'', ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'' and ''VideoGame/{{Hitman}}''.

* AscendedMeme: As mentioned below, 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.

** Also, we have Ice-Cream Man, Greencoat, and Axeman.
** Frenchzio for Arno has become a mocking nickname for those fans who note his many similarities to Ezio.
*** This gets a FandomNod in ''Dead Kings'' when Arno, finding the militiaman he had been chasing had fallen to his death, outright quotes Ezio's "Requiescat in pace", rather than using the main game's "Repose in paix".
** "Assassin's Creed Unity - the most British French game ever made." A reference to how the game's French characters all speak in British accents.
** Thomas de Carnellion is Black Altair, due to his Assassin outfit being a retextured, black version of Altair's iconic robe.
** For the game itself, Assassin's Creed: Made in Unity[[note]]A play on the game's ObviousBeta status and the Unity game engine, which, due to its liberal licensing and SturgeonsLaw, has a (somewhat undeserved) reputation for producing unpolished games.[[/note]]
