I recently started playing Assassins Creed: Unity and I started thinking about the series as a whole. As we know the Assassin Creed series is known for its open world cities that allow the player to explore and traverse basically anywhere they want. All the games up until Unity were all single player and with the arrival of Unity brought co-op to the series. Is the next step a "shared world experience" like what Destiny brought?
Looking at Assassins Creed series each character you play as is apart of the Assassins or in AC: Rouge, the Templars. Obviously there are many members of these organizations so it would make sense in say Paris where AC: Unity is set, why couldn't there be other players as Assassins in the world? Missions could be co-op like Destiny and not just certain missions like what Unity has. Public events could happen like the ones in Destiny where all the players in this world could meet and complete a task to get a reward. Story could be still played as a single player and focus on a certain Assassin like your Guardian in Destiny. There could be co-op only missions still that reward groups of players with money or items for their characters. AC: Unity got around the whole aspect that everyone is Arno in co-op by adding the character customization so players will look different from one another.
Could Assassins Creed move to a format like this or is it better off as a single player only game with certain missions as co-op or multiplayer like the older games?
Throw me in a pile of hay if old.
