The Most Brutal Multiplayer Idea For Assassin's Creed

All Clips Taken From Altair Stealth: / @altairstealth
I had this idea of AC having an invasion mechanic and I discussed it with people a year or two ago, so I wanted to make a video about it and get your thoughts on it. I think the idea of an assassin's creed and an invasion mechanic is a great combination, but I understand some drawbacks and criticisms to it that I may be too optimistic or excited to notice.
Assassin's Creed Mirage is a 2023 action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Bordeaux and published by Ubisoft. The game is the thirteenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2020's Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

Do You Miss Multiplayer in AC?

[@ShyChilcken]

I do 👍🏻

[@alexfaria6453]

I played a lot of AC4 multiplayer and really enjoyed it

[@yoshitv9939]

Is it possible that you are Altair stealth? I mean you have the same setup as him, you share the same opinions as him and you use his clips in your videos

[@revanvonheaven8270]

Parkour stealth smoke bombs and hidden shivs

[@moxirt7992]

Imagine this. You're in AC Unity just roaming around and all of a sudden you get a notification "A hunter has began his chase". Immediately, you climb the highest nearby building and start looking around. Eyes glued to your screen, controller held tightly in your hand. You try to look for any abnormalities or moving objects in the distance but you see nothing other than the seemingly endless roofs and clusters of chimneys. And just as you're about to climb down, you spot a silhouette in the distance about 15 rooftops ahead. You see him clear as day looking straight at you, and just as you start thinking of the best plan of action, you see him moving. He's sprinting for you, running from rooftop to rooftop with a kind of precision you've only seen in KZbin videos. Instantly, you realise you're outclassed. The best chance you have now is to hide. You jump off the rooftop and land splat on a brick street. It takes half your health but you don''t much care right now. You start looking for any haystacks nearby but then you realise...you're in the richer half of the map, surrounded by a hundred or so rioting NPCs. You sprint into the nearest crowd, making sure not to cause a scene. You position yourself right in the centre of a rioting crowd. Looking around, you don't see any sign of the hunter. Maybe you overestimated him or maybe he's already here among the crowd inching towards you. Either way, there's not much you can do. You position your thumb above the disguise skill button. And then do the only thing left to do... Wait.

AC rogue with fit more story-wise

[@TaliesinDafyddWard]

Such rich writing, both visually and in an emotive sense. I felt like I was there. You have a gift.

[@92manfan20]

Padh le bhai

[@joseortizreflects]

I agree with you, having "The Human Factor" implemented in an AC game would make the experience even more immersive and rewarding. Another element that could be added to a system like that is the "Hunt or Rescue Mission." For example, if one player invades another's game to hunt down the host, then a third player can enter the session to either aid the hunter or rescue the host. This third character would have a vague idea of who is who (like a wanted poster or something like that, no markers on the map, please!) so that he can better recognize the other players and choose which side to aid, whether the hunter or hunted. This would make the experience even more alike to the orignal AC Multiplayer because the hunter could turn into the hunted at any given second. There should be a way for this third character to identify himself to the other players in case he finds them, to prevent confusion.

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

that would create a really cool cat & mouse game

[@joseortizreflects]

Exactly!

[@spartanfalanx]

This idea could fit in perfectly with the idea of an assassin civil war. (Where the assassins form factions.) I've toyed with that idea (ever since revelations) because it seems so obvious that many assassins struggle with the creed or have different interpretations of it (e.g. Abbas or Bellec). In games like revelations, rogue or unity, they sort of hinted at this idea, but they never fully went for it. Which I think is a shame, since it would make perfect sense for the creed to evolve and over time be interpreted differently by people with different backgrounds. Not to mention how it would allow for more contemplation on what the creed truly stands for and it could make the "bosses" feel like you've finally met your match. (Like what rogue attempted to do and failed at). In such a game, an invasion mechanic (where it really is assassin versus assassin) would make perfect sense (and we wouldn't need any turncoat story like rogue because, you can't have infinite turncoats in a game without it becoming unrealistic).

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Would be very cool

[@Mazaco_The_Snake]

I like this idea, maybe they could implement the templars as manipulating certain factions to also influence a civil war. It wouldn’t be out of character for them. Maybe through a secret third party? Also what era would this take place? I can’t think of anything, but certainly it wouldn’t be out of the question for assassins to have multiple disputes throughout the years

[@spartanfalanx]

@@Mazaco_The_Snake I think it could work for multiple tumultuous periods (I got my hopes up when they announced unity, but alas). Other periods it could work in are the civil wars after the death of Caesar, the Russian revolution of 1918 (although I know many people aren't fans of time periods with guns), the religious wars of the 1600s in Europe, the Dutch revolt (80 years war), just a few off the top of my head. The debate could centre around whether the assassins should get involved with the revolutions/civil war, or only limit themselves to hunting templars and finding POE's. Since for several of the wars mentioned above at least one of the sides vaguely alligns with what the assassin's believe in (so should they offer their support, or stay out of it?).

[@lsenger3343]

Bro Ac has so much potential...

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

It does dude

[@Sebbir]

A shame Ubisoft is so scared of potential

[@brendanthebomber.]

Finally somebody has mentioned watchdogs multiplayer modes I still haven’t seen anything quite like it since

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Its a great mode

[@NesquickCoffee]

I loved the mode, really miss the whole idea of it.

[@themanofconnor]

I remember hearing recently about how the Watch Dogs franchise is basically over, after plans for a battle royale game came to nothing. Got me thinking. A battle royale version of Assassin's Creed's old multiplayer would be legitimately amazing. Throw a couple dozen players into a map with an constantly shrinking radius. You have to silently eliminate your competitors, without getting picked off yourself, to become the last assassin standing. Not that they need advice on this or anything, but Ubisoft could milk the hell out of it with all cosmetic skins and animations. Why does this not exist already!?

[@WardragonLog101]

I honestly really miss the PVP game we had with AC Brotherhood. The newer fans don't understand, that shit was fun. Imagine that with Valhalla or Mirage like gameplay.

[@yiklongtay6029]

Because its our instinct to freerun and get from A to B as fast as possible, I think being forced to blend and walk at a painstakingly slow pace due to fear of PVP would be too annoying to be a constant thing. Perhaps just informing the player that there is a target/assassin within 200 meters would help out a bit

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Yes perhaps a warning is a good ides

[@yiklongtay6029]

@@TheSpaniardAssassin And you don't even have to deliberately enter a mode where you become a templar and reload a map. Simply frame it as you getting word of an assassin turncoat you must kill. Similarly, the target gets informed that a turncoat is targeting them. Though discrepancies in NPC positions might be hard to reconcile

[@effervescentapricot7522]

If Ubisoft did want to do something like this, they might have to overhaul the animus a bit. One justification for this kinda gameplay feature could be abstergo agents hacking into other animus simulations from their own animii, although that's still a bit contrived. Perhaps it could be the "invader" is reliving the memories of another character who the historical protagonist just so happened to encounter, and Ubisoft is simply taking Creative Liberties™ with the animus simulation as they often do.

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Yeah something like that could work

[@yodaddyrc1220]

In the game, it can just be represented as a regular target or hunter approaching the ancestor.

[@manuelsanchezruiz2316]

Let's imagine a multiplayer for Assassin's Creed. It can be located famous game locations in Venice, Acre, Notre Dame etc. One player assumes the role of an assassin (they could choose the skin of his favorite assassin), while the other will be the Templar or his guardian (It could be the skin shay or haytham or even almualim hehe). Each one has different objectives and abilities: the assassins choose between weapons such as hidden blades and bombs to accomplish their mission, while the Templar must plan strategies and position marshals at key points in the temple and its surroundings. Once the planning is complete, the Templar comes out equipped with an AC Unity rifle. The assassin must locate the Templar, but also gather key information. This may be reminiscent of the heist missions in AC1: by eliminating certain guards you can obtain valuable information, such as the location of other guards. For more details, the player must look for the last note. These are some ideas I have. I like assassin creed but many times you don't want to play the story. you just want to play assassin style and kill and feel like an assassin. I wanted to make this idea a little similar to chess in terms of planning and dynamism. The guards could be placed in different ways relating to chess in some way many openings. The Templar protector would be searching hard, forcing the assassin to be resourceful with stealth and hiding. Once a player supposes that the assassin murders the templar that the templar protector was supposed to protect, the mission does not end there but now the assassin has to escape. The escaping murderer gains point now. They go to the next round. This is an idea that I've had for quite some time, but since I don't know anything about video game design and programming, I'm left with the dream. But I like your idea better, I feel like it would be more viable. ​

[@yiklongtay6029]

You don't even have to deliberately enter a mode where you become a templar and reload a map. Simply frame it as you getting word of an assassin turncoat you must kill. Similarly, the target gets informed that a turncoat is targeting them. Though discrepancies in NPC positions from each player might be hard to reconcile

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Could be very cool

[@TheNickHorton]

In my journeys as an assassin, my kit is an extension of my identity and a testament to my prowess in the shadows. The Hidden Blade, a symbol of the Brotherhood, is my trusted companion for swift and silent takedowns. Alongside it, an array of finely crafted weapons-swords, knives, and the precision of a crossbow-all tailored to suit the various challenges that lie in wait. My agility is my greatest asset, allowing me to navigate the city with unparalleled grace, climbing and leaping from rooftop to rooftop. The flowing Assassin's robes are not just garments but a cloak of anonymity, aiding me in blending seamlessly with the bustling crowds as I move through the vibrant streets. And then there's the gift of Eagle Vision, a sixth sense that reveals the hidden truths around me, exposing enemies and unveiling hidden paths. This carefully honed kit is not just an arsenal; it is the embodiment of my dedication to the Creed and the legacy I carry as Ezio Auditore da Firenze. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

[@sleepyfrank6359]

Dudeeeeee even I had a similar idea where 2 players could fight/cooperated on stuff but also I really want AC to bring in some Hitman contracts typa shit where we could give out hits on people in various black box event areas so we can test our friends skills.

[@juanordo66]

This would indeed really test your skills as an Assassin. It is also a feature which would separate the "assassins" from the "master assassins". Maybe there could be a reward system as well, for if you complete your mission without being killed you get a reward or if you of course assassinate your target you get a reward. The potential is really out of this world with AC multiplayer.

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

i agree there is a lot that could be done

[@Mr.Wiksila]

Imagine open sandbox assassinations where other team are templar that are defending target and others are assassins trying to... you know assassinate target

[@Mr.Wiksila]

Or rushhour where 2-4 assassins compete whos the first one to able to assassinate target

As someone who never got to play the AC multiplayer back in the day i think this sounds awesome and alot of fun

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Right?!

[@liamnelson49]

@@TheSpaniardAssassin when are you going to do a video on the ISU? I'm curious to hear your thoughts on that side of the story or how would you write the story of a Templar led game?

[@amazanta1605]

Tbf I think co op should return and also multi targets as well I don’t think having an invasion mid mission makes much sense consumer wise as people would just turn it off but definitely an invasion mechanic free roam would make sense. Also a bounty hunter mode I think maybe if you’ve been successful on missions against templars you are then rewarded with a challenge so a bounty on ur head

[@Reuel-Jazwa]

Your videos, especially this and the one about the mercenary/ bounty hunter systems of the rpg games remind me of a character from ac revelations that had like 2 missions and a skinpack for the multiplayer, known as "The Sentinel" He did have his own dialogue in the story and he claimed he left the assasins as they didnt help the duchy of wallachia(his homeland) against the ottoman invasion. And its really quite underwhelming that the idea of former assasins waging a private war, or joining the templars specifically against the assasin order did not get as expanded in the lore. Or heck former templars joining the assasins. Aside from honourable mentions

[@jecaba97]

Even though I've spent quite some time on Brotherhoods MP, I had never thought about implementing such a cool mechanic in SP before. Now I goddam NEED it.

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

We do need it 😭

[@Noname-ph2nw]

some people have mentioned a shay, connor arno and aveline sequel to unity and god this multiplayer would work so well with that, imagine a quick time event or an option in menu hopefully both, where you can switch from ur session and play as shay or maybe a choice of templars hunting, arno, like a quick switch, so that the other player can carry on in there session as arno then u can hop back into shays shoes or play as other templars from the game to hunt arno having two options also makes a fun mechanic in which you have the less physically fast shay hunting a faster arno but winning in combat or a faster young templar who although more flexible than the middle aged arno is less able in a battle, having multiple templar options allows for play styles, and it could mimic the existing ac play styles that fans love, like having one hunter strong in stealth and weaker in others or stronger in combat, so mix of what we have had from each game so far

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

That multiplayer would slap

[@lceorangutan]

i have an idea, so its a tower defense, might sound dumb but you basically get a fort, then you put traps, and you have an ai troops and you can also fight him, but plot armor exist, so your having half health and half speed, the npc by is set to highest difficulty

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

like rev>

[@michaelagyepong1539]

So basically you would become a stalker like that of Rogue

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Yeah!

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

hahahah

[@kvtthroatt]

an ac game based in the future cyperpunk theme sort get to create your own assassin but clothing doesn't break the setting with this type feature of multiplayer where the person can be friend or foe so you can be messing around with your friend then boom yall start playing deadly hide and seek mid mission would be fun...in my opinion the best game tht ubi made multiplayer co op was watch dogs 2 it didnt limit you frm any of your skill points or gadgets while still having access to do multiple things yall both can be stealthy or guns blazing or 1 of each and it felt good to do it and rewarding didnt break any type of immersion at all in any aspect of the game doing so, i just wish ubi can learn from watch dogs 2 how co op should be done right imagine if watch dogs 2 felt more like assassins creed where stealth was priority and combat was last resort it would be gold

[@masterybegins]

I was actually struggling to find some sort of gameplay loop or mechanic for a game I'm developing and you just gave me the best idea with this video. I will inform you when the pre-alpha version releases if you would care to try it. (the game will be free and it will be really similar to AC) Maybe you can even make a video from it.

[@frank7704]

I wish you the best with your game!

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

cant wait to try it

[@ShadowNeverDie]

I would love to see it in the style of Rogue where Shay gets attacked by the Assassins. I liked the Idea of Rogue a lot but I was missing the feature where a Player (playing as a Assassin) enters the game and is tasked with killing Shay Patrick cormac. But I don't think this will happen anytime soon. I would love to see a new multiplayer in the form of Unity as well but with a second story that you can play parallel to the main Story where you can kind of build a brotherhood with either your friends and/or Random people, with a hideout in the style of the game that shall not be named (Valhalla)

[@swedziwor]

Awesome idea. I always thought ac was perfect for multiplayer and loved the co-oo in unity, but I never thought about ac pvp. I'd love to play this. Such a shame that they don't give us multiplayer anymore

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

Glad you liked it! And yeah it is a shame

[@speckledeggday]

Another cool idea would be like helldivers2 a game that is constantly online and huge servers, like between the Assassin's and the templars but then a mode a pve and pvp.

[@TheSpaniardAssassin]

[@vxyccArcana]

tru... but i think it would take away from the fact that AC is a power fanstasy of you being an op assassin with insane skills (not demigod XD), so idk how it would cater that but just mo

another idea, its like dead by daylight, but let's say it take place in paris, assasin have the eagle eye/revelation skill (from ac oddysey) unlimited use, you can blend with people so they wont detect you from far away, but from 20m you will get detected, the mission itself is killing a certain someone, without getting killed by the assassin hunting you, so assassin hunt assassin that tryna kill someone

Something that could be implemented but I do not think they do it would be to put both, both invasions and separately a mode similar to the classic so you have the open world in the invasions and on the other hand a smaller world similar to what it was before and what would make everything perfect is would be a fairly fluid mobility you know hopefully someday someone from Ubisoft senemcurtee with your channel and pay attention to what you say, both as this online as in a past video where you mentioned 3 setting is that they would be exelentes for an AC 100% with you especially with Spain and the Aztec empire.

I am an absolute fiend for invasions in games. It started with Dark Souls and I've absolutely loved trying to get the drop on other players in those modes. Sniper Elite also does invasions really well imo. I'd love to see it in AC, but idk if it would actually work. I'd rather have co‐op back in Assassin's Creed, but if we were to get invasions I'd replay missions all the time to be invaded and to invade other players. Its one of my favorite mechanics in fromsoft games, its why I always played through the games with the dried finger (taunters tongue in Elden Ring) active even though I don't typically like summoning other players. I love that kind of random pvp Before that though, I think Ubisoft needs to figure out what Assassin's Creed is and do it well for a couple games. There's elements in the rpg games that are good, but I don't think the identity of Assassin's Creed should've been sacrificed for it We'll be getting that free multiplayer AC game from the For Honor team soon if memory serves, so I guess we'll see what's in store for us soon enough
