The Lead Producer on Ubisoft Montreal's Assassin's Creed II, Sébastien
Puel has revealed to GamingLargest that the studio is interested in bringing a
multiplayer component to the Assassin's Creed universe at some point.

When
we asked Puel whether he could see a future Assassin's Creed game
featuring co-op or multiplayer modes, he told us that, "This is
something that does interest us."

"Assassin's Creed had a really
strong core gameplay and for Assassin's Creed II we really wanted to
nail the depth of gameplay," Puel continued. "Once this is done,
everything is open for the rest. With the Animus we have the potential
to support any kind of new gameplay like that. It depends whether
Ubisoft will be willing to go this way. I'm not saying yes or no, but
we'll keep thinking about it."

The Animus, by the way, is the
plot device in both the original Assassin's Creed and its sequel that
allows characters to travel back in time from the present and visit
their ancestral memories.
