Ubisoft just surprised the world when they announced that Ezio will be back in a new Assassin’s Creed game, due out by March 2011. WHAT?! They made it kind of clear that this won’t be Assassin’s Creed 3, but more like an add-on or expansion pack. They have multiple design studios working on the game right now to get it out in time. Maybe now we know why they haven’t been pushing Assassin’s Creed 2 PC that hard.
“We have a new Assassin’s Creed that we expect will be a very high quality product that as well as an offline complement will have a multiplayer component,” said Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot. We won’t be seeing any online multiplayer – but offline multiplayer is a move in the right direction. Ubisoft probably wants to gage how the fans react to the multiplayer and try to figure it all out before the add a full multiplayer function into Assassin’s Creed 3.
Are you excited? What type of multiplayer components do you think this game will have? Post a comment and let me know.

I think you misread that announcement friend. “as well as an offline component” refers to the game/expansion having a single player portion, besides the multiplayer mode, which, this implies, will be online.
I suspect that, given the combat system, there won’t be much direct PVP combat – I mean, when counterattacks are so deadly, who’s going to make the first move? Also, no doubt The Order frowns on that sort of thing.
I’d have thought multiplayer would involve special missions (co-op and/or competitive). Imagine racing your friends across the rooftops of Venice? Or teaming up for a mission where one player fights super-alert guards and another sneaks in to steal the treasure? There’s a lot of mileage in playing up the ‘Guild’ aspects of AC; friendly competition and co-operation, never raising a blade to your brethren. Add in more costume-customisation options, and you can have clans wearing their ‘team colours’
I used to train 1 hour daily ( mainly running and some gym work) and I couldn’t loose weight at all… Help me please…
This post is wrong in saying the game is coming out in march 2011, the game is coming out in november 2010.
Also “The Multi-Class Geek” says that there should be a multiplayer aspect where you can go through in co-op. The problem with that is you cant really fit two of the same assassin in the same story. It just wouldn’t feel right.
Sincerly
2011 what i cant we that long me need that NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait till Brotherhood comes out, lookin’ forward to multiplayer!
I’d appreciate if they can let us customize our assassins in every aspect including the gender. I mean changing facial and body aspects, If that would become available then i’m totally in. But i know it’s a farfetched dream -___-
So, I’m going to pay $60 for an expansion pack?
Crap. I’m going to pay $60 for an expansion pack.
I think!……That the game has already been out for a week and that I already beat it what I actually wanted to ask was when you assassinated this guy in AC2 cause I don’t remember doing it
The guy in the picture up there that is^^
