Assassin's Creed Unity will render at 900p resolution and run at 30 frames-per-second on both PS4 and Xbox One, senior producer Vincent Pontbriand has revealed.

He explained that the game could run at "100 fps if it was just graphics", but not while managing the detailed AI processes that simulate the game's massive crowds and individual citizens.

"We were quickly bottlenecked by that and it was a bit frustrating, because we thought that this was going to be a tenfold improvement over everything AI-wise, and we realized it was going to be pretty hard," Pontbriand said. "It's not the number of polygons that affect the frame rate."

Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag also ran at 900p and 30 frames-per-second on both systems when it launched last year. However, a post-launch update bumped the PS4 version's resolution up to 1080p.

The Assassin's Creed Unity's release date is November 11 in North America, November 13 in Europe and November 14 in the UK.
