While the Assassin’s Creed franchise is best known for weaving historical settings and stories with a massive overarching sci-fi plot and the ongoing war between Assassins and Templars, the games from Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood onwards also feature a very decent multiplayer with colorful characters and a mix of stealth and action style gameplay.
The multiplayer for Assassin’s Creed has included elements of co-op in the past, such as Assassin’s Creed III’s Wolfpack mode, but since the premise for the multiplayer is that it’s simply a training program in the Animi used to hone the Templar’s skills, it’s never had much in the way of an actual narrative.
All that may change with this year’s entry, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, according to a new report. Former NeoGAF user Shinobi602 revealed on Twitter that Ubisoft is planning to bring two Assassin’s Creed: Unity demos to E3 this year, one of which will be for the singleplayer campaign and the other for a brand new four-player narrative co-op mode. The Escapist later verified that the information came from a legitimate Ubisoft source.
