An Assassin's Creed multiplayer project has reportedly been cancelled
, by Thibaut
Ubisoft's recent restructuring seems to have killed another project in development at the Annecy-based studio. This was a multiplayer title codenamed "AC League".
In an article published by the Origami website (which contacted half a dozen people working for the publisher), we learn more about the nature of this game. The 85 people involved in this production were working on DLC for Assassin's Creed Shadows. It was supposed to close the season pass with missions that could be played cooperatively by four players.
Unfortunately, the project began to stall and the chosen expansion format was increasingly criticized. In the end, management wanted to either add "AC League" to another game in development or make it a standalone co-op title. The latter option was chosen, and the company hoped to organize test sessions as early as May 2026.
In the end, the creation of Vantage Studios and the review of projects in production proved fatal for the game. However, the work done should not be completely thrown away, as Ubisoft wants to implement the techniques created for "League" into the Anvil engine, all with the aim to use these cooperative mechanics in a future Assassin's Creed game.
