I’m a bit on the fence with this one. It’s certainly not a true sequel and I feel this is just coming out for the sake of cashing in on the name and the desire for a multiplayer experience. I’m hoping that the multiplayer portion of the game will exceed those of simple deathmatches of assassins hunting each other down in small maps filled with crowds, hiding spots and perches.

I talked about this with a friend of mine today and decided that a worthy multiplayer experience for the Assassin’s Creed franchise for me, would involve the story behind the Brotherhood of Assassins. Imagine not just playing a co-op campaign that progresses the story but is multi-layered in a way that you and your brothers choose how the story unfolds. Imagine a chapter where you and your fellow assassins are tasked taking out multiple targets. Each assassin must complete certain tasks before the assassination with or without the aid of his brothers. Maybe instead of going forward with the assassination you and your brothers convince the target to work for you in some fashion, unlocking another mission or side story that you and your brothers can complete to unlock new areas, weapons, and adding more depth to the overall story and endgame.

Would you rather play that or a pretty straightforward deathmatch?

Maybe that’s what the multiplayer will be. Hopefully.

But most likely it isn’t. Why? Because the idea is too sound, too ideal, too good to be true.
