Not too long ago we heard about Ubisoft's plans to incorporate multiplayer into the next Assassin's Creed. During the company's third quarter financial conference call, Ubisoft released more details about the next Assassin's Creed. This go around, Ezio will infiltrate Rome to fight the Templars.

While there are no further details about what the online multiplayer will include, Ubisoft did mention the importance of multiplayer in the next Assassin's Creed. It will feature some sort of competitive assassination mode.

While details remain scarce on the next Assassin's Creed, we do know the next game will take place in Rome, with Ezio striking directly at the Templar Order.

    Aww... was hoping for ancient Rome! Imagine the plot twist where it turns out Julius Caesar wasn't in fact murdered by Brutus and Cassius and the other senators... but by the player!

    I totally agree, Ezio is a great character but how the game ended with Ezio thinking w.t.f just happened really should be the end of the story for him.

    this is probably dlc then? i doubt think a true sequel would only take place in one city. unless they meant desmond being in rome instead?

    spoiler: got loads of assissins left, after collecting all the stones in ac2. So persia, egypt and others are all possible in the future. But I totally missed the Rome in AC2. @5 Old Rome sounds great!

    I wish they could have a new AC taking place in Kyoto,Tokyo

    That would hit hard very good and will be very interesting.

    But Ezio is a cool character so either way its no problem

    Multiplayer....NO. Please just focus on the main game and the story and epicness of the single player. Part 2 was awesome. Multiplayer does not need to go along side every game.

    Please Please Please make the MP like Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow and chaos theory!! Assassin's 3rd person, Mercs/Guards first person!! This is the perfect game for that kind of thing!! I know it was prob a different house under ubi that did those two, but still. Those were the most fun on MP i have ever had!!!

    I like the setting in AC2 it made 2 so much better then 1. I assumed Desmond would be the next assassin.
