Here's What We Know
Ubisoft noted that the parkour team could not resist implementing this improvement before the next update. More changes are expected, including the ability to jump off walls while overcoming them. These improvements should appear in the next update, scheduled for the end of May.
The new features include new options for jumping from a height, a vertical jump to a ledge, and improvements to the photo mode. In June, players are promised a new storyline, additional difficulty levels, updated Animus content, and more convenient features such as headgear display in cut scenes.
Meanwhile, rumours are spreading about the possibility of multiplayer, as datamining has revealed references to PvP maps and co-operative elements.
