With Assassin's Creed 2 just around the corner, Ubisoft's Montreal team are already thinking about the direction of their next Assassin's title.
Speaking to IncGamers and after being asked why the "creed" hadn't been utilised for multiplayer, AC2 producer, Sebastian Puel, has said that co-op and multiplayer is something the team has considered.
We asked if the Animus could transport players to a multiplayer environment in the game where there would be a proper creed of assassin's who could complete missions and objectives together, or if there was the chance to play the game co-operatively in its entirety.
"The franchise has a lot of potential, and the Animus allows us to do whatever we want," said Puel.
"Whatever we want to do, whether it's multiplayer or additional missions or content, the Animus is a perfect tool for that."
Asking again if there were any details to reveal about the next game, and whether multiplayer would be incorporated into the next title, Puel simply said "[w]e'll let you know in the upcoming months."
So multiplayer for Assassin's 3...now we just need to figure out where it will be set. Keep your eyes open for our full video interview which will appear in the next few days.
Oh, and if you've not read our in-depth preview, then I suggest you do it.
Now.

I don't see MP myself. I've recently become interested in this game but it's console and I'm mainly a PC - read proper :p - gamer so I'm hoping it'll come to that. I got interested because of the book that was recently announced which I plan on getting but on the face of it it strikes me as a single player game. He's a lone assassin right? Murking in the shadows, cloaked and mysterious. Won't some of that allure of him as a character be lost if he's got a couple of cohorts? Well they wouldn't even be able to be that because who'd want to play his friends in an MP game? You'd want to be him. So multiple hims, gang of assassins? Well that's just an mp game then.
