Ubisoft details third AC: Unity update

During the weekend, Ubisoft launched the second update for Assassin's Creed: Unity (patch notes here), and they have now detailed the upcoming third patch, as the saga to fix the many problems in the game continues. There is still no date for this third update, and there is no list of specific fixes, but Ubisoft detailed the following categories of what's being fixed:

Gameplay: this includes bugs like Arno getting stuck on certain areas of the map (including a few more hay carts), problems with getting into/out of cover, character animation bugs, and general camera problems.

AI & Crowd: in this category are problems with NPC animations, crowd events, and crowd stations, NPC navigation issues, as well as bugs related to NPCs detecting Arno's activities in various situations.

Matchmaking & Connectivity: this covers a number of issues related to co-op play, including bugs with joining games in-progress and problems that happen during host migration.

Menus & HUD: fixes in this category will address missing details in certain menus, problems with some of the mission objective and co-op update pop-ups, localization inconsistencies, as well as some of the issues with menus and pop-ups overlapping each other.

General Stability: this includes fixes for a number of crash situations we've identified in both campaign and co-op modes.

Ubisoft recognises this next patch won't solve every problem in the game, but they did state that they are "expecting that it will dramatically improve your experience." You can check our impressions from Assassin's Creed: Unity here.
