Is Assassin's Creed Shadows Multiplayer?

Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally here and fans are exploring the game's exciting storyline. However, many players might think traveling through Japan would be way more fun with friends. Are you wondering: does Assassin’s Creed Shadows have multiplayer or co-op? We'll try to answer your question.

Does Assassin’s Creed Shadows Have Multiplayer or Co-Op?

Simply answered - No, it doesn't. As of its launch, Assassin’s Creed Shadows does not include multiplayer or co-op gameplay.

The game offers a single-player adventure through Japan. You cannot explore the storyline with other players. Assassin's Creed Shadows focuses on its narrative, stealth mechanics, and open-world exploration. Ubisoft has not managed to add online features such as multiplayer, co-op, live events, battle passes and so on.

Will Assassin’s Creed Shadows Get Multiplayer in the Future?

What we can say is that it does sound like that Ubisoft has some plans for the future of Assassin's Creed Shadows. The game does not feature multiplayer and co-op right now, but there have been some hints that new modes can be introduced later on. Two key projects suggest the possibility of multiplayer integration:

• Project Invictus: Ubisoft has confirmed the development of a standalone Assassin’s Creed multiplayer title, currently under the codename “Invictus.” This project will be accessible through the Animus Hub, which also connects to Assassin’s Creed Shadows. While it is not directly part of Shadows, it indicates that Ubisoft has nothing against exploring online options.

• Project League: Insider reports suggest that Ubisoft is working on a post-launch co-op mode for Assassin’s Creed Shadows, codenamed “League.” However, keep in mind that we don't know much about this project. According to rumors, the mode could allow players to team up, much like the cooperative missions in Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014). So far Ubisoft hasn't released any official information.

Conclusion

So far, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is a single-player adventure with no multiplayer options. There are some development rumors going around, hinting at more modes introduced post-launch. Whether through a future co-op expansion or a separate multiplayer title, Ubisoft hasn't given us many hints but we'll be here to update you once we have more information.
