Assassins’s Creed: “Eventually There Will Definitely Be Co-Op In The Brand”, Says Ubisoft

Game director Patrick Plourde has said in an interview that co-op will “eventually” feature in Assassin’s Creed titles.

“I think eventually there will definitely be co-op in the brand,” said Plourde. “For this one, we focused first and foremost on the validation for multiplayer – and the templar angle was interesting. In campaign, co-op comes with a lot of challenge.”

“At GDC the Saint’s Row guys were like: ‘if you want your game to have co-op – especially in a sandbox – you need to build it from the ground up.’ They’re right – it’s a couple of years of turnaround to make sure co-op would work,” he went on.

“With Brotherhood we were expanding the brand, but we also have the quiet confidence that we’re successful enough to take our time. That’s super liberating – we have great ideas, but we can put some of them on the backburner for the time being then – next time round – revisit some of those old ideas.”

Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood is out on November 16 2010 in the US and November 19 2010 in the UK for PS3 and Xbox 360. PC version is coming next year.
