Assassin's Creed 3 (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-3) is getting the multiplayer treatment from Ubisoft Annecy (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/ubisoft-annecy/), the studio responsible for multiplayer modes in Revelations (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-revelations) and Brotherhood (http://www.joystiq.com/game/assassins-creed-brotherhood), an update on veteran designer Tim Browne's Twitter page reads. Browne's profile says "Lead Game Designer on Assassin's Creed III Multiplayer @Ubisoft - Annecy," which leaves little to the imagination (scandalous).

The multiplayer aspect of AC3 remains relatively vague, apart from the "Online co-op 2-4 (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/06/assassins-creed-3-four-player-co-op-accidentally-revealed-by-xb/)" feature removed from the title's XBLM listing, and the "Online multiplayer 2-8" one that is still there. A few of Browne's shipments included local and online co-op modes, including Operation Flashpoint: Red River andDragon Rising, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. He has no previous involvement with Assassin's Creed franchise.

An old studio with a fresh face -- Ubisoft is sending us mixed signals about its multiplayer mode, and dang it if we're not falling for the tease all over again.
