Assassin’s Creed 3 multiplayer explained a wee bit more

Friday, February 19, 2010

You know Assassin’s Creed 3 will follow Ezio to Rome and include a multiplayer element. Today you will learn more about this multiplayer element; just a wee bit more.

Speaking to Kotaku‘s Stephen Totilo at the D.I.C.E. Summit yesterday, Ubisoft creative director Patrice Desilets and Assassin’s Creed series lead writer Corey May said that the next AC installment will have a full single-player campaign alongside the multiplayer element. Well, scratch my hopes for an Assassin’s Creed MMO of sorts.

The two went on to say that Assassin’s Creed 3′s multiplayer will be “narratively justified.” What does that mean? I think it means Ubisoft won’t be cramming deathmatch modes down our throats. It could mean that the multiplayer element will be a co-op based system.  It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine the narrative justification for multiplayer being that Ezio needs a buddy to help him overcome certain obstacles.

This is pure speculation on my part, of course. Ubisoft is aiming to launch the game in March of 2011, and we look forward to more details coming out closer to the date. Stay tuned, because you know we’ll update you.

    THIS ISNT ASSASSINS CREED 3 BUT ASSASSINS CREED 2:EPISODES, GET IT RIGHT IN FUTURE, ASSASSINS CREED 3 WILL HAVE A NEW CHARACTER IN A NEW TIME PERIOD.

  • yourmom

    Chris I think you're in denial but what this guy is saying makes sense. PS: Does anyone know who will be the second assassin?

    co-op Asssassins creed would be mental…. if this multiplayer is co-op then in my opinion that would just top off an already brilliant game. I quite like the idea of staying in Italy cos i thought it was a great setting, maybe we could go renaissance England with Henry VIII in 1509,, just a possibility………….

    i'm with you, jkaaaay, i think coop would be great in this game. but im against you re: the time period. i think an AC title set in feudal japan would be just massive. your character could be a ninja, you could climb pagodas instead of castles, explore 16th century Tokyo instead of Rome, throw stars instead of knives, all sorts of awesomeness.

    but if i had to pick from european countries, i'd def go with England over Italy.
