Hell, it may even be time for us to finally take our Initiate out into the real world and see how these folks operate in the modern day.
Some serious progression with Juno and the Precursors and that whole Sage business needs to be made, or just scrap the modern day stuff completely and rework everything from the ground up. It’s a mystery as to what the heck is going to go on in Assassin’s Creed 2017, but here’s hoping that the modern day segments see some improvements. Odds are they won’t, but hey, it’s nice to dream. There’s some stuff involving a Sage, and Juno making appearances every now and again, hoping that she and the Assassins will be friends someday.
Since Desmond’s death and subsequent dissection at the hands of Abstergo, players have been taking control of a nameless and voiceless Abstergo employee and a gamer who winds up becoming an Assassin Initiate. But since then, the story on that front has sort of stopped and started, taking some odd paths that don’t seem to have really gone anywhere. ACIII ended with Desmond dead and the prophesied cataclysm being avoided, and Juno (one of Those Who Came Before) declaring that it’s time for her part to begin. The original Assassin’s Creed games–or the main trilogy, rather–had a modern day story in conjunction with all the time hopping and throat slashing involving one bartender named Desmond Miles.

Couple that with Ubisoft’s multi-season approach to DLC that rewards the long con, as we’ve seen with For Honor and Rainbow Six Siege, and it’s more than time for this series to bring back online play. There still is nothing like the sight of multiple Assassins (or Templars) working together in tandem to pull off daring feats that has everyone talking. We want to go back to paranoid stabfests! Or, if competitive doesn’t seem so much fun, a co-op focus wouldn’t go unloved.įor whatever problems that there have been with the series’ other multiplayer installments, they are still a ton of fun at the end of the day. It was understandable in some ways, given that AC Unity didn’t entirely win everyone over with the four player co-op, but we’ve gone long enough to where it can now make a glorious return and play with our senses yet again. While multiplayer proved to be popular and has had its fair share of DLC, both Syndicate and Rogue went without it. It made the right move in playing into the paranoia that comes with the territory of a stealth game and flipped it on players, and there’s still nothing like attacking an NPC that could be a fellow player and paying for striking at the wrong time.
