The Assassin's Creed games have progressively become more cooperative with each new edition and recently at the press conference ahead of E3 2014, it was announced that Assassin's Creed: Unity will have an online multiplayer component.
Assassin's Creed: Unity will be set in 18th century Paris and like the last version of the game, this fourth iteration of the Assassin's Creed franchise will focus on building a brotherhood, but this time with other assassins from across the Internet.
