While previous Assassin’s Creed titles offered little in the way of multiplayer promotions, Ubisoft will be mixing things up with Assassin’s Creed III this time around, by launching the game’s first ever multiplayer event, titled Revolution.
Players who log onto during the duration of the event, which starts today, will receive rewards simply for their participation. The event will offer three rewards: one for participation, completing an individual objective, and completing the community-wide goal of having three million kills in total.
Ubisoft has not specified what these rewards are, but they are expected to be limited to the event and will not be obtainable through any other means—meaning, what you get won’t be something you can get just by playing the multiplayer game normally.
Players can partake in the event by selecting the Events option in the multiplayer menu and joining games within the mode.
"Revolution is about to explode in the 13 colonies," reads a message on the Ubisoft forums (via Polygon). "In this period of violence, survival is key, even if that means crushing others… Will you be ready to work as a team to defend yourselves and your territories from others?”
If the event is a success—which it undoubtedly will be, given how much fun AC III is to play in multiplayer—there’s a good chance that we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the future.
