Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will not include a multiplayer mode, Ubisoft has confirmed. Instead, the publisher is putting all of its resources into ensuring that the single-player campaign is “excellent”.
“This game will be single-player,” CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed during the firm’s FY15 earnings call last night. “We don’t know and we can’t say yet.. We know but we can’t say yet about what will happen next.”
He continued: “You don’t have a multiplayer mode on this iteration because we want to spend all our time on making sure the single-player is excellent and it’s coming along extremely well.”
Last year’s Assassin’s Creed Unity introduced a new 4-player co-op mode to the franchise but dropped the competitive multiplayer mode introduced in Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Neither a competitive or co-op multiplayer mode will feature in this year’s game.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate launches on PS4 and Xbox One on October 23, with a PC version also due to arrive this autumn.
