Assassin's Creed Shadows PS5 PlayStation

With a second exclusive report out of the embattled Ubisoft development team this week, outlet Insider Gaming is living up to its reputation. A cooperative game mode is reportedly in the works for Assassin's Creed Shadows, in development long before the game's recent, lengthy delay was announced.

That's according to Tom Henderson's sources, who report that the mode (codenamed LEAGUE) does not have a release date and was previously planned as a post-launch update. Specifics are quite scarce, but presumably, the mode would allow the game's protagonists, shinobi Naoe and samurai Yasuke, to battle together in Shadows' open world. Insider reminds us just how all-in on Assassin's Creed the French publisher is going, with a secretive multiplayer entry in the series creeping up on a 2025 release date, the apparently Fall Guys-esque Assassin's Creed Invictus.

What do you think? Does co-op in Assassin's Creed Shadows sound like an appealing draw? Watch each other's backs in the comments section below.
