How To Start A New Game On Ac Unity

How to Start a New Game on AC Unity

Ready to jump into the exciting world of Assassin’s Creed Unity? You’re in for a treat exploring the streets of revolutionary Paris! But before you can climb buildings and take down bad guys, you need to know how to start a new game. It’s pretty easy, but let’s go through it step-by-step so you’re all set to begin your adventure with Arno Dorian.

Starting Fresh: The Basics

Okay, so you’ve got the game all loaded up. The first screen you’ll usually see is the main menu. This is your starting point for all things AC Unity. Let’s break down what you need to do:

Navigating the Main Menu

The main menu is where all the action begins. Here are a few things you might see:

• Continue: This option will load your most recent save game. If you are trying to start a fresh game, you don’t want this option.
• New Game: This is the one we’re after! Selecting this will start a new adventure from the very beginning.
• Options/Settings: You can adjust your game settings here. Things like graphics, sound, and controls can be adjusted as per your convenience.
• Extras: This may have things like credits or other bonus content for the game.
• Multiplayer: If you want to play with friends, this is the place to go, but we are not covering that in this article.

The New Game Selection

Once you select “New Game,” the game will likely show you a confirmation message. The game needs to double-check if you really want to overwrite any existing game progress you have.
You will often see a warning message that looks like this:

“Starting a new game will overwrite your current progress. Are you sure?”

If you are ready, confirm and proceed.

Understanding Save Slots

Before you dive into the game, it’s good to understand how save slots work. Most games, including AC Unity, have a few different save slots.

This is important because:

• One save slot: Many players just have one save slot and this is mostly fine for most people.
• Multiple saves: Some players create multiple saves so they can jump back to an earlier point in the game.

With most games having autosave features, it’s not necessary to create multiple slots, but for some games, creating multiple saves is useful. In AC Unity, you do have the option of creating manual saves and will also find the autosave feature as well.

Starting Your Journey: The First Few Steps

Okay, you’ve selected “New Game,” confirmed your decision, and now you’re ready to go. Here’s what happens next:

The Opening Scenes

Most games have introductory scenes and AC Unity is no exception. You will be introduced to the story, with the game showing some key events or characters. These scenes help in building up the atmosphere and introducing the setting. Pay close attention as this gives you the context for what is going on and why Arno is fighting.

The Tutorial

Right after the opening scenes, you’ll usually enter a tutorial. The tutorial will teach you the basic controls, like:

• How to move around
• How to climb
• How to fight
• How to use your hidden blade

These are simple and designed to help a new player learn the game. Don’t worry if you’re not perfect on the first try! Everyone makes mistakes when starting out. The most important thing is to practice. The game will usually show prompts on screen, so try to follow along with what the game is telling you to do.

Early Missions

Once you finish the tutorial, you’ll be given your first missions. These missions will usually be very simple and they will get you familiar with the map of Paris. Make sure you listen to what the characters tell you about the story. They are helpful in providing context to what you are doing in the game.

Customizing Your Gameplay

As you progress, AC Unity lets you customize your experience. Here are some areas you’ll start to interact with, though they are not required to start a new game:

Character Customization

Very soon into the game you’ll have the opportunity to change your character’s look. You can pick out new outfits and gear. All of this makes Arno look and feel unique. As you get further in the game, you will be able to change weapons and their stats as well.

Skill Upgrades

As you complete missions and earn experience points, you can improve Arno’s skills. You can enhance combat abilities, stealth skills, and navigation skills. This can alter your gameplay experience, depending on the skill tree you want to focus on first. The game encourages experimentation, so you can try and test various styles of gameplay that are fun for you.

Tips for a Great Start

Starting a new game can be overwhelming, so here are a few handy tips to make your first few hours enjoyable:

Take Your Time

There is no need to rush. Paris is beautiful and very detailed. Take your time to explore the surroundings and enjoy the environment of the game. The game does not need to be played in a rush.

Practice Stealth

The Assassin’s Creed series is famous for its stealth gameplay. In the beginning it’s really good to practice your stealth movement and techniques. Staying out of view of guards is a valuable skill that will help you with the game.

Don’t Forget the Side Missions

While the main storyline is important, the side missions provide extra experience, fun gameplay, and interesting details about the world. They are a great way to get extra XP as well as weapons.

Experiment with Combat

Combat in AC Unity is fairly challenging and is not very easy to get used to, but experimenting with different weapons and tactics is a great way to see what works for you. If you are finding combat difficult, practice more.

Be Patient

If you get stuck on a mission or encounter a particularly difficult situation, take a break and come back to it fresh. It’s okay to fail sometimes.

Important Considerations

There are some things you should also keep in mind.

Game Updates

Make sure that your game is up to date. Game developers sometimes issue game updates that can improve the game’s performance or fix certain bugs. These updates are important for a smooth gameplay.

Game Settings

It’s a good idea to take a look at the game’s settings. You can modify the graphics settings if you are playing on a PC and some aspects of the controls as well. Experiment with the settings to find what works best for you.
