In Assassin's Creed Unity, which historical event forms the main backdrop for Arno Dorian's story?

The French Revolution forms the main historical backdrop for Arno Dorian's story in Assassin's Creed Unity.

Assassin's Creed Unity was released in 2014 and is set primarily in Paris during the late eighteenth century. Its story follows Arno Dorian, an Assassin drawn into a conspiracy amid the political and social upheaval of the French Revolution. Famous locations and events from revolutionary Paris provide the setting for missions, investigations, and large crowd scenes.

The game emphasizes cooperative play, allowing up to four players to undertake selected missions together. It also introduced a more detailed parkour system and a redesigned approach to stealth, investigation, and character equipment.

The Industrial Revolution is chiefly associated with Assassin's Creed Syndicate, while the American Revolution is the historical setting of Assassin's Creed III. The Renaissance is most closely linked with Ezio's earlier adventures.
