Assassin's Creed Unity is Ubisoft's 2014 open-world action-adventure set in Revolutionary Paris, starring Arno Dorian. It splits parkour into explicit Free-Run Up and Free-Run Down inputs and adds a dedicated parry, so most buttons do double duty: the same input interacts on the ground and parries in a fight. The keyboard column below is the game's default PC mapping; the controller column is the default Xbox One layout from the game's official in-game manual.
