A new Assassin’s Creed: Unity (Assassin’s Creed 5) trailer released by Ubisoft explains how co-operative play will work in the adventure game.
Apart from being able to play co-operatively, the biggest news from this trailer is the progression tree available for your character. Every assassin you create will have a core skill set: combat, navigation, and stealth. From there, you can build up your character’s skills and experience, making them more unique or closer to your style of play. However, Ubisoft has not gone as far as a classic role playing game – there are no ‘classes’ of assassin.

Each one starts with the same potential, and how their skills are developed is up to you. Stealth, Melee attacks, ranged attacks, or health could be the focus of your assassin. You’ll also be able to craft weapons as you play through the game.
Cooperative play is for up to four players, and each mission will be based on a real event from the French Revolution. They will also be ‘open ended’, allowing your team to decide how they should play out. We’ll have to wait till November 11th when Assassin’s Creed: Unity is released to see if it lives up to its promises.
