Assassin's Creed Shadows multiplayer might actually be real

If Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remains one of the most beloved games in the entire series, it’s partly because it was the last time that AC had a full multiplayer mode. 12 years later, and the competitive sneaking and stabbing that first began with Brotherhood is yet to make a return. But that could be about to change. As Ubisoft prepares to announce what’s next for its latest, Japan-set stealth RPG, hidden code strings suggest that Assassin’s Creed Shadows multiplayer could be a reality. Given that we have two protagonists, Naoe and Yasuke, perhaps a full co-op mode would also make sense. Here’s hoping.
