Why Valhalla's Paris Feels Different Than Unity'sĪnother post by Redditor Tabnet highlights just how different the scale is between the two recreations. This is what helps Unity's Paris feel so big and sprawling, as well as being one of the reasons that Valhalla's feels so small.

In order to balance accuracy of landmarks and enjoyable traversal, the developers implemented what they called, 'radial scale.' In a 2014 article from The Verge, the developers explained that they decided to keep the center of Paris condensed and populated, but when the player leaves the city center to go into less-populated areas, buildings have more space in order to create a better playground while maintaining landmark locations and borders. When it comes to comparing this Paris to the one in The Siege of Paris, scale plays a huge role.

As the release of Assassin's Creed Valhalla 's second DLC expansion, The Siege of Paris, came ever closer, it brought to mind the series' first foray into the French capital, Assassin's Creed Unity. Even though Unity has a divided reputation among fans, thanks to its buggy launch, no one denied how impressive and accurate its recreation of Paris was. Since the two games share the same location, one has to wonder how The Siege of Paris' recreation of its namesake holds up to Unity's - or if they can even be compared at all.Īssassin's Creed Unity's Paris is quite an accomplishment, but does take some liberties in order to make one of the Assassin's Creed's best-selling games play better and feel more familiar.
