Between all of the different Assassin’s Creed titles announced, like the Feudal Japan-set Codename RED or the reportedly occult-focused Codename HEXE, Invictus has been low-key.
Vice president executive producer of Assassin’s Creed Marc-Alexis Côté revealed that the title is a standalone multiplayer project under Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
How multiplayer will ultimately work, and whether it’s more co-op like Assassin’s Creed Unity or competitive like the modes in older titles, is unknown.
So I think you can see the intention there, of Invictus allowing us again to bridge our different games together.”
