Which Assassin's Creed game first introduced the parkour-focused protagonist Arno Dorian?

Assassin's Creed Unity first introduced the parkour-focused protagonist Arno Dorian. The game follows Arno in Paris during the French Revolution, where he joins the Assassin Brotherhood after being drawn into a Templar conspiracy.

Unity was released in 2014 and emphasizes movement through dense urban environments. Its updated parkour system distinguishes climbing upward from descending, giving Arno more controlled movement across Parisian buildings. The game also supports cooperative missions for multiple players, although Arno remains the single main protagonist.

The story includes historical figures such as Maximilien Robespierre, Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Marquis de Sade. Arno's personal story is fictional, but it unfolds alongside real events including the storming of the Bastille and the Reign of Terror. Assassin's Creed Syndicate followed in 2015 with twin protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye in Victorian London. Arno should not be confused with Élise de la Serre, a Templar and major character in Unity who shares his childhood connection.
