Assassin’s Creed 3 multiplayer to get monthly challenges which expands the Abstergo storyline

Speaking in an interview with CVG, Ubisofts Annecy director Damien Keiken has revealed that Assassin’s Creed 3 multiplayer will be expanded after launch with additional story content.

Ubisoft plans to release new challenges every month and completing these will unlock more of the game's Abstergo-based storyline.

The Abstergo storyline in AC3 sees gamers playing as a member of the public as Abstergo has turned the Animus into a commercial product, which they claim will give owners the dream of 'reliving the past in HD'.

"The multiplayer is so big today that it's already a game on its own," Ubisoft Annecy director Damien Keiken told CVG. "We've been given the right to develop the Abstergo storyline since the beginning, which is a big responsibility."

"As you progress in the game and level up your character, you access these files and videos. Every month you'll have new challenges to unlock new content that will continue the storyline throughout the year."
