The Legacy of Assassin’s Creed’s Multiplayer
During the heyday of the older Assassin’s Creed entries, online multiplayer was a significant part of the franchise. Fans of the series relished the Player vs Player (PvP) modes that allowed them to engage in intense stealth battles. The game even offered a variety of scenarios to accompany these modes.
However, in the newer entries, the multiplayer aspect has taken a backseat. Some games, such as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Assassin’s Creed Mirage, have completely done away with the multiplayer component that older entries heavily relied on.
Even though these games will no longer be available for online services, they will always hold a special place in the hearts of players. The memories of the thrilling battles and strategic gameplay will continue to live on in the minds of gamers worldwide.
