According to a Ubisoft developer, the video is reportedly “target game footage”. With that being said, the gameplay seems to merge Assassin’s Creed parkour with some intense action. Jonathan Cooper piped up on Twitter and revealed the source of the gameplay. According to Jonathan, the video was compiled with work from the For Honor team. However, the gameplay was inspired by an Assassin’s Creed 3 pitch.
Wow – haven’t seen this in ages. Amazing work from animation director Khai Nguyen (For Honor) and team. This target game footage (pre-rendered game pitch) inspired our own pitch for Assassin’s Creed 3 as they did such a great job making it look like real gameplay. https://t.co/U9cy7v4fNp
