Assassin's Creed Resistance WWII concept

Assassin’s Creed: Resistance
Setting:
Europe, 1939–1945, primarily focused on Occupied France, with missions in Berlin, Warsaw, London, and North Africa.

The Animus user in the modern-day story investigates their ancestor involved in the French Resistance.

The story weaves real historical events—D-Day, the Blitz, and the Holocaust—with the fictional struggle between Assassins and Templars.

Protagonist:
René Vasseur, a former thief turned Assassin, recruited by the Brotherhood in Paris.

He joins the French Resistance, using sabotage, stealth, and espionage to undermine Nazi operations, which are secretly led by high-ranking Templar officers.

Templars in WW2:
The Nazi regime is heavily influenced by Templar ideology—control, order, and the use of ancient artifacts to dominate the world.

They search for a Piece of Eden hidden beneath Mont-Saint-Michel, believed to give the power to control mass minds—a potential explanation for Hitler’s propaganda machine.

Gameplay Features:
Espionage Mechanics: Disguise system, forgery of documents, radio hacking.

Urban Stealth: Dense city environments, underground tunnels, sewers, and safe houses.

Resistance Network: Players build and manage Resistance cells, similar to Brotherhood mechanics in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.

Weaponry: Hidden blade adapted into wrist-gun, silenced pistols, throwing knives, garrotes, and WW2-era firearms—but with Assassin emphasis on stealth.

Moral Choices: Missions could involve choices with civilian consequences, affecting story outcomes and resistance morale.
