Ubisoft: No multiplayer naval battles in Assassin’s Creed IV

Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

“We’re going to be communicating big on multiplayer in the coming weeks,” he said. “However, what I can say is that unfortunately we won’t be doing naval multiplayer for Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag.”

– Lead Content Manager Carsten Myhill

Well, that’s pretty unfortunate! I remember watching the E3 2012 footage of Assassin’s Creed III and thinking that the naval battles were one of the most interest parts from the game, and you would think they would be primed for multiplayer considering the mechanics of the gameplay.

What’s interesting is that Myhill also said they were focusing all of their resources on creating the perfect “open-world pirate experience”, so they don’t have the resources to do multiplayer ship-battling.
