Ubisoft wants to bring back Assassin’s Creed multiplayer

Assassin’s Creed hasn’t had multiplayer in quite a while, but Ubisoft says that may soon change. With the rise of games as a service it makes business sense to return to the concept, and despite the series’ general focus on single-player its multiplayer options have been surprisingly robust and entertaining. Ubisoft wants its tech to be able to support those features again. Asked about how Ubisoft tech is going to evolve in the near future, chief creative officer Serge Hascoet says that “We have many technologies, so it's case by case, but Assassin’s Creed has no multiplayer mode, and that is very important for the social aspect of gaming, so we are looking for that.” “I want our game to become a place where there are many changes and new events,” Hascoet tells Game Informer. “Even in Assassin's Creed. We have to change our games’ agility. We have to consider mobile crossovers. There are millions of changes I would make. “For example, the number of players. Today, our online technology could support 100 players, but at what cost? If we remove the crowd and stuff like that in Assassin's Creed we could make online easier ... it's a case by case basis. If a project needs 100 players at the same time then we can do it, but we need to find the added value."
