Sucker Punch shocked fans earlier this month when it announced\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima: Legends<\/strong><\/em>, a completely free co-op multiplayer expansion. Despite co-op fans hopes and prayers, most games simply don’t take this route, instead preferring to focus either on single player experiences or competitive multiplayer, so for that subset of gamers, this is\u00a0a gem. Of course, given how often\u00a0this title is compared to those from the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>franchise, it was inevitable that some fans would view\u00a0Legend<\/em>s<\/em> as a sort of challenge to Ubisoft, calling out its lackluster multiplayer history of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

As a new IP,\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima: Legends<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>will be Sucker Punch’s first attempt at multiplayer within the game, but many fans are excited with what they’ve seen so far. In terms of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>multiplayer, Ubisoft experimented with the idea for a few titles but has since dropped it in its more recent exploits, likely due to the less than impressive reception it garnered among fans. Now with\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> already claiming the title of “Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>in Japan” and taking the world by storm, many fans are wondering if\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>will prompt\u00a0Assassin’s Creed Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>to up the ante with a multiplayer mode of its own.<\/p>\n

Assassin’s Creed<\/em>: Brotherhood\u00a0<\/em>was the first in the series to try and tackle a multiplayer game mode, and introduced a competitive multiplayer experience<\/a> to the franchise. Players would select an assassin from a list of characters and then be given a target. The catch is that while searching for this target, they would be the target of another player, requiring both hunting and evasion to be considered simultaneously in order to come out on top. This is an interesting idea in theory, but it wasn’t too well received.<\/p>\n

Further titles, including\u00a0Assassin’s Creed Rogue<\/em>,\u00a0Assassin’s Creed 3<\/em>, and\u00a0Assassin’s Creed Black Flag<\/em>, all expanded on this multiplayer idea, adding a few new touches of their own.\u00a0These game modes were generally well received by those that enjoyed\u00a0Brotherhood<\/em>‘s multiplayer, but outside of that group, many never took the time to experience them, instead preferring to stick with the main single player story of each\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>game. Since\u00a0Black Flag<\/em>, though, no\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>game\u00a0has featured any\u00a0competitive multiplayer<\/a> aspects, making it seem as though Ubisoft has abandoned the idea altogether.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends\u00a0<\/em>is looking like it will be very different from\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>multiplayer for a number of reasons, but the big standout is that it emphasizes cooperation rather than competition. Players will choose one of four predetermined character classes, Samurai, Ronin, Hunter, or Assassin<\/a>, and must work together to overcome powerful, supernatural enemies. Sucker Punch has confirmed that\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>will feature a two player story mode as well as a four player survival mode, and that a four player raid will be added shortly after the launch of the free update.<\/p>\n

Mythological elements are another thing that will set\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>apart, as although the First Civilization plays a major role in Ezio’s story, the early eras of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>largely steered clear of any other kind of mythology. More recent games such as\u00a0Origins\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0Odyssey<\/em> have since embraced that aspect of history, with\u00a0Odyssey\u00a0<\/em>even having the player do battle with a Minotaur and other mythical beasts of Greece, which puts\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>in a unique position. There is also the argument to be made that\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>‘s combat more closely resembles that of the older\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games<\/a> than the newer ones, something which further differentiates the two franchises.<\/p>\n

If Ubisoft does take Sucker Punch’s\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima: Legends\u00a0<\/em>as a challenge to the\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>franchise, then the best place for it to answer that challenge is in\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla<\/em>. The details about\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>are still rather limited, so at this point anything is possible and a multiplayer mode could already be planned. Still, given how different\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>is going to be from\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood<\/em>, Ubisoft would likely need to take a different approach to this game’s multiplayer, perhaps instead drawing inspiration from\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Unity<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This title is a sort of hidden gem, as it initially had a very negative response due to an excess of bugs at\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Unity<\/em>‘s\u00a0launch<\/a>. Since then, most of those issues have been patched out, leaving a pretty great game that many had the chance to experience when Unity\u00a0<\/em>was made free following the Notre Dame fire in Paris. What really made\u00a0Unity\u00a0<\/em>unique, however, is that it is the only game in the franchise to include a co-op multiplayer mode. Players could tackle missions, explore the world, and more together for the first time.\u00a0Valhalla<\/em> could do something similar, allowing players to work through the main story together or take on challenging co-op missions.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Ghost of Tsushima: Legends\u00a0<\/em>is taking its multiplayer out of the real world and away from Jin’s story, but\u00a0Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>has an opportunity to set itself apart by doing the opposite. Though Eivor is clearly going to be the main focus of the game, there are countless other Vikings that fight by his side that another player could control. Co-op enthusiasts have no doubt imagined facing down the conquest battles and mythical beasts of\u00a0Assassin’s Creed:\u00a0<\/em>Odyssey<\/em><\/a> with friends, and these dreams could be fulfilled in\u00a0Valhalla<\/em>.<\/p>\n

On the flip side,\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>: Legends<\/em> already looks very enticing to fans, and Sucker Punch has made it clear that it intends on further expanding it down the road with a four player raid. Since\u00a0Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> doesn’t feature RPG elements as heavily as current\u00a0Assassin’s Creed\u00a0<\/em>games, it will likely be more accessible to players and matchmaking will be much easier. The best thing to do now is simply wait until\u00a0Legends\u00a0<\/em>releases and see what fans think of it. Most agree that a multiplayer mode in\u00a0Valhalla\u00a0<\/em>seems unlikely<\/a>, but perhaps Sucker Punch could push Ubisoft to do it with its own success.<\/p>\n
