I liked that in Brotherhood they explained that the multiplayer was Abstergo's training programme and I just assumed that was going to be the case again in Revelations. Thing is in the multiplayer kill trailer there is an Assassin looking guy and that just brought some doubts to that idea.

The trailer for those who haven't seen it.

Does multiplayer ever really need to be explained in the fiction of any game?

In Brotherhood they explained that some people used to be assassins and became templars which is why they look and fight like them.

And yay dubstep.

Its supposed to be training for new templars.

huh? you still are an abstergo agent training from the text that was in the Revelations beta.

I actually hope that multiplayer goes the way of telling a story. I like that this one and killzone 3 and some others are trying to tell a story in their multiplayer.

I think it's the same set up though, Templars training to kill Assassins.

@CitizenKane: No, but it is such a rarity outside of "because it's war" that when games like Assassin's Creed or Bioshock do try to justify their multiplayer it makes me a little less cold hearted.

Why does that narrator sound like Patrick Stewart?

Every character in multiplayer is a Templar Ezio dealt with in game, and has a biography.

The "assassin looking guy" was an assassin traitor that became a Templar.

Multiplayer is still the Templar training program, as you level up you unlock information and videos about Abstergo and it's history.
