Some might find it hard to believe that in this day and age a major title can go on without a multiplayer component but Ubisoft Quebec wants to prove them wrong. As expected, the studio has confirmed that there is no Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate multiplayer component because their entire focus is on the core single-player experience of this title.
Creative director Marc-Alexis Cote says that the team wanted to bring back this stealth-action series to its very roots and provide gamers with an excellent single-player experience. So instead of adding online or co-op play, Ubisoft Quebec decided to turn this into a narrative-driven title with various new elements aside from tweaks to stealth and combat.
All story and side missions in Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate have been created in a way that they fall back into the narrative, which revolves around two protagonists, the siblings Jacob and Evie Frye. Yes, you will be able to play as a woman in AC: Syndicate, Ubisoft is certainly making up for the ruckus it caused with AC: Unity last year.
Cote added that the reason why there’s no multiplayer component is because the ultimate goal is to “focus on the roots of the franchise,” which is all about a great single-player experience. Assassin’s Creed: Unity is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and the PC on October 23rd.
