Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

Ubisoft's Financial Update Reveals Upcoming Assassin's Creed Multiplayer Mode [Updated]
Written Wednesday, January 13, 2010 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

In Ubisoft's financial update for its third fiscal quarter (yes, the one that saw Splinter Cell: Conviction get delayed) towards the end of the press release Ubisoft makes mention of an upcoming Assassin's Creed multiplayer mode.

The press release states that coming in 2010 is "a new episode of Assassin’s Creed, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode."

No more details at the moment, but keep your eyes peeled and we'll keep you updated when we hear more.

We only have one question now... actually, maybe two.

Is the single player game not sacred anymore? And how the hell is multiplayer going to work in Assassin's Creed anyway? I can't say I'm intrigued or even care, it's hardly a franchise that needs multiplayer.

[Update:] IGN reached out to Ubisoft and got a few answers about the upcoming product. Ubisoft clarified that this is a new project and not an expansion to our Game of the Year, Assassin's Creed 2. The title picks up where Assassin's Creed 2 left things and will feature Ezio... and of course will feature multiplayer.

At least Ezio returns. That we do approve of.

[Thanks Martster123 for the heads up]

I'm kind of tired of everything having a multiplayer mode. At least when there are so many other good games uot there that mainly focuses on multiplayer. But maybe a co-op Creed would be cool.

I despise this new trend of single player games just throwing a multiplayer mode in there. First Bioshock 2, now Assassins Creed. Single player games need to stay single player, there are tons of multiplayer games out there that are suited to the style.

Any money on it being loosely based on that CTF mission in AC II could tell that was some kind of multiplayer blueprint ;)

I hope it doesn't happen.

...But if it does, I hope it isnt one of those MP modes that tries too hard. Something simple like a race around the rooftops or first to assassinate or something. Please... no deathmatch-anything.

I reckon a 'Protect the flag runner' or something similar will work brilliantly, and with regards to the multiplayer on every game issue, if you don't like it, there's no-one forcing you to play it. More bang for your buck and all that.

With that said however, I would much rather the 750 bonus achievement points weren't wasted on this, unless they're particularly amazing achievements. More story addons would certainly be preferable.

Co-op sounds good but I don't like the idea of competitive multiplayer in AC. That CTF mission wasn't that fun, it was cool to see but got repetitive after a few rounds.

Can Ubisoft say flop? They are going to ruin an amazing single player game with horrible multiplayer! It's bad enough they are dragging the series into a 3rd game, which is just going to be the same as the first 2!

When they say multiplayer i'm going to assume they mean coop, and that the next game will feature two main characters. There is simply no way they could create a verus based multiplayer. Like you say, i too am far from interested but its worth a 'watch this space' in my mind.

Oh, my bad! Just noticed it was relating to a dlc and not a new game altogether. Now i shall watch this space even closer. If it has a shitty MP and they plaster it with grinding and ranked only achievements then i wont get AC2 at all.

Maybe its just leader boards for challenges etc.

Personally I hope so. The work that has to go into a multiplayer game makes the other parts of a game suffer generally. Look at Modern warfare

I seriously hope this doesn't have achievements tied to it.
This game definitely doesn't need any form of damned multiplayer.

Here's an idea that developers should have, screw unnecessary multiplayer and lets focus on better single player DLC.

And I know that I'm not being forced to play it, just always really pisses me off how they think that we always need a multiplayer in games.

Not interested in MP. Would prefer more missions for single player.
Not every game needs multiplayer, just look at the awesomeness of Batman Arkham Asylum. The combat and predator challenges were that little extra :-)

Ditch the MP for AC2 and make more single player DLC

It doesn't really look like anyone in this post has considered that the MP mode could be coming as part of the downloadable episodes that have already been announced, not necessarily a stand-alone download.

Not all SP games need MP, but there are exceptions. When I first heard of Bioshock 2's MP mode, I thought it was a horrible idea, but after seeing some previews of it, it doesn't look that bad. Only problem is that they tied achievements to MP.

This is horrible.. The reason why I enjoyed AC & AC2 is because it was solely a SP experience. Games like MW2 excel in multiplayer, which is a good thing, but some games like AC deserve to stay as a SP game..
I don't have any hopes for this and I hope there's no achievements for this stupid add-on.

Oh great. I realise everyone thinks AC2 + Multiplayer = Awesome!

But this is not true at all, I'm now gonna hate all the hackers and n00bs online and then I'll blame the game for pissing me off and therefore I'll hate the game.

I actually hate single player games with multiplayer, I'm pissed that BioShock's gonna do it too. I buy a single player game for the single player campaign and I buy a multiplayer game for the multiplayer, I don't see the point at all in adding multiplayer to a game, it's not going to be a massive hit like CoD or Halo so it seems rather pointless.

All I can say is why?
I mean for fucks sake, I got pissed off when COD:WAW when it released it's Zombie achievements after I 1k'd it and now a game like Assassins Creed 2 my favourite game of last year getting a multiplayer mode, If it has achievements for the multiplayer mode all I can say is Ubisoft my money is being spent elsewhere. Multiplayer will hands down not work for AC2.

lets see, how about deathmatch. you sneak up to the other guy and stealth assassinate him before he sees you... meh sounds boring.

now, if they had more of an online co-op campaign, that would be pretty cool. I wouldn't mind picking that up and playing with some of my friends online.

@27 nope, I love competitive MP way more than single player to. Most of the community on this site though seems to want single player only games with single player achievements, they instantly dismiss any game with MP or MP achievements in it because they say it promotes boosting(which it might but I get alot of messages from people asking if anyone wants to boost rank and challenges in COD:MW2, and that has no MP achieves).

Unlike most of you i'm looking forward to this and I hope it has a bunch of MP achievements.

Coop would be neat one assassin and maybe a trainee or a thief. But if it goes the avenue of pvp No thanks. Try to kill the target before the other guy and then kill them too - eh.

I agree with most of the folks already posted. its an awesome single player experience and it should be left as that.

Why do so many Dev teams think every game they create needs a multiplayer "sideshow" (for lack of a better word) - why cannot a game stand on it's own merit of being a solid campaign, whether it be action/adventure, RP, or heaven forbid a shooter (BioShock anyone?).

The reason is if Multiplayer takes off in ACII they'll be multiplayer in ACIII which I'd hate.

ACII is basically perfect from where I stand; I don't see the point in DLC for it as missions are useless (I only did other missions for achievements; the only one's I wanted to do were story).

Multiplater; I generally think this'll end up with a Prey type Multiplayer (Dead); it's an amazing game but online; nah no thanks.

I suppose if it was like Mirror's Edge type online it would be okay (Racing ghosts of players, not actual players in a race type event) but if it's PVP or anything else; I really can't imagine it.

It's dlc. Don't want it? Don't get it. They've already said the prices for each one and it's cheap as hell. I think it'll be cool. They probably mean "co-op" and not so much online multiplayer. I can see a friend fighting beside you in that Battle of Forli expansion.

I could make some huge rant on this and complain to high heaven but I will keep it short. This game doesn't need multiplayer and its one of the few games I wanted to actually get 1k on and did. This will mess up my achievements but thats hardly my point. This game is an excellent single player experience and doesn't need it. I bet it will become dead in a month like other games do when they tack on multiplayer.

And Single Player games CAN have replayibility i.e. Bayonetta.

Stop Complaining people! multiplayer is like an extra! The great single player experiance is still there. I just think of this as another awesome assassins creed add-on. Co-op, ruining around the town. Thats an idea I like. If its based on the combat... well, we'll see how that works out.

All the kiddies on the Ubi forums are screaming for MP because they wanna do the missions as a task force, rather than assassin. How can you be that bad at AC that you cry for co-op?

Why not?! I was about to trade the game in cause I beat it and you can't reload chapters which is stupid. Didn't feel like replaying it all so multiplayer gives the game more life and yes a single player game "not sacred" anymore with XBL. BioShock is doing it too, question is why are people dumb enough to complain about mp? If you don't like it than stick to the sp... when most people spend 60 bucks they want a game to last and mp does just that. This news is only a good thing so stop making it into a bad.

so in order to keep up with the story line you have to play a multiplayer game? how's that going to work. And WHY does that work.

Hmm, maybe co-op? That might be awesome, but please no PvP.

I would at least entertain the idea of a co-op Assassin's Creed, but a multiplayer game is just stupid. It doesn't even deserve a chance. Some games just aren't meant to have multiplayer. Period.

My thoughts exactly. I've got a title for the game, since the MP will most likely be co-op: "Task Force Creed". Assassin's don't work together, when they do they become a task force, so they can't even call this game "Assassin's Creed".

@7 totally with you. It is stupid how every game needs multiplayers these days. It is going to ruin a lot of games, like Bioshock and Assassin's Creed. These types of games, and games like Batman: AA and maybe Splinter Cell are games that can be fun to play just over and over and an online would be pointless.

MP could be a cool thing only if it is handled like who Splinter Cell's co-op is done...only a complement to the single player story and not something that is thrown on and looks gawd awful

If they add multiplayer as in co-operative assassinations in the game world, that might work.. But AC CTF doesn't really entice me..

Wow. some people need to use common sense once in a while. Bioshock 2 is being made by FOUR separate studios. One of which is dedicated solely to multiplayer so the single player isnt suffering. That being said, I like this idea and even when playing AC1 how cool a MP mode could be. I'm so sorry if getting more content for your game is SO terrible. I could understand if a MP mode caused SP to suffer. But this is a few months afterwards so quit whining

Those complaining... stfu.

This is not a big deal. If they threw this on the disc then it would be a bother. But as optional DLC this affects only people who buy it. If you don't want it, don't buy it. Also, its really weird that people base opinions off thin air. Seriously, there are no details so how can you hate this.

I think Bioshock2 should follow suit honestly. As should any game thats known as a single player game.

It's only a big deal if they stick pissy achievements on the multiplayer that count as AC2 SP achievements. If it doesn't, it won't really matter because many probably won't care for it. The game is great already, it doesn't need a pointless MP.

A fuc*ing multiplayer for AC2?! No way. From what I read it will "picks up where Assassin's Creed 2 left things and will feature Ezio... and of course will feature multiplayer."

IF there's a new single player chapter with a multiplayer on its own (like Splinter Cell does - by the way I played it on Pandora tomorrow once, them forgot SC ever had a MP part...) that can be slightly acceptable, but thanks, no MP achievements, please.

BUT a multiplayer linked to the plot is just garbage. AC2 is a SINGE PLAYER driven story and so it must be. There's no way I can see to make MP barely decent in this kind of game where stealth and tactics are of the essence, since it will be the usual mindless frag without ANY of the charme of this game.

Ops, I read now better this part:
"Ubisoft clarified that this is a new project and not an expansion to our Game of the Year, Assassin's Creed 2."

Please forget what I wrote earlier.

Since it's not going to ruin AC2, my outburst is indeed too much harsh.

Nonetheless I'm doubtful about this multiplayer thing.

I think every game should have a multiplayer now. Single player just doesn't have much replay value and therefore I never buy a game that's single player because I know it won't be played after completion.

I'm sure multiplayer could work very well in Assassin's Creed, in fact any game could. Just depends if the developer puts the time in to make it work.

We'll see what happens. But Imho there is no reason why they shouldn't go for a multiplayer mode. Just because a game has great single player mode doesn't mean it cannot deliver an awesome multplayer experience. Think outside the box people!

Hmmm, i think it would be good to have multiplayer, think about having 7 of your friends and you running around Italy doing what you want, completing assassination tasks e.t.c. and Single Player games are good, but Multiplayer games are just next level

ITT: People whinge about Ubisoft making more content for a game that hasn't even been fully confirmed.

C'mon, at least give them a chance to put out a decent multiplayer mode.

If this game is set in WW2, and it has multiplayer...including MP40's, and wooden bolt-action rifles...like 100 other games...

No, no company could be that stupid...I hope
