- A assassin’s creed The cooperative multiplayer game codenamed “AC League” was reported to be in development before being canceled by Ubisoft.
- The four-player cooperative game project was initially conceived as a DLC for Darkness
- The project would have served as a basis for future multiplayer features that would be implemented in the assassin’s creed series
Ubisoft reportedly canceled a assassin’s creed Cooperative multiplayer game that was initially developed as a Assassin’s Creed Shadows Downloadable content (DLC).
That’s according to a report from French outlet Origami (translated by IGN), which claims that the project was in the works at French studio Ubisoft Annecy and was codenamed “AC League“.
it is said that AC League was conceived as a DLC for Darkness that would have seen four players, or assassins, team up to complete a series of scripted missions.
The DLC, which was also expected to take place in the same era of feudal Japan as the base game, was also initially intended to be part of the canceled Season Pass and would have served as the basis for future multiplayer features to be implemented in the game. assassin’s creed series.
Origami reports that the project was quite ambitious and would have served as a way to return to the hybrid solo/multiplayer gameplay style of the series that appeared in Unit and Black Flag.
However, subsequent discussions led Ubisoft Annecy directors to question whether it made sense to attach the AC League to Darkness Due to time constraints, they decided to switch to a smaller, independent title that would borrow from Darkness instead.
It seemed like development had come a long way because an invite-only alpha test was planned for May 2026 before it was canceled.
The cause was attributed to Ubisoft’s significant restructuring efforts, which recently saw the cancellation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time remake and five more unknown games, the delay of seven more and the closure of some studios.
Ubisoft Annecy management was reportedly informed last week that the AC League was being cancelled, although a handful of employees are said to have been chosen to transfer the technical advances the team made to Ubisoft’s Anvil engine.
Origimi reports that doing this will allow Ubisoft to eventually use the technology to add replayable multiplayer modes in the future. assassin’s creed games in the series that would be less expensive to develop from scratch.

However, due to Ubisoft’s recent restructuring, the remake is believed to have been delayed following speculation that it could be released before March 31.
