Assassin's Creed 3 offers monthly multiplayer content

Ubisoft will release new Assassin's Creed 3 multiplayer content every month.

Players will be given new challenges to complete on a monthly basis, which in turn unlocks more of the Abstergo storyline.

Ubisoft Annecy director, Damien Keiken, told CVG: "The multiplayer is so big today that it's already a game on its own.

"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."

A previously announced multiplayer mode in Assassin's Creed 3 is Wolf Pack, allowing teams of four to work together to take down targets.
