This is why Assassin’s Creed: Unity doesn’t have competitive multiplayer
“We made choices on the game early on that we’re going for the shared experience.”.
Assassin’s Creed multiplayer has always been something of an oddity. It’s one of the few truly decent online stealth games for Xbox, and the only such endeavour – save possibly for Splinter Cell’s venerated Spies vs Mercs mode – to have attracted anything approaching a “blockbuster” following. That’s quite the feather in Ubisoft’s cap. So why has the publisher decided to drop head-to-head multiplayer with Assassin’s Creed: Unity, out for Xbox One this year?
