Along with new entries in the Raving Rabbids, Ghost Recon, and Driver series, Ubisoft has revealed that its fiscal year 2010-11 lineup will include a new entry in the Assassin's Creed series - with online multiplayer.

Ubisoft pulled out the big guns today to help make up for the downward financial outlook for fiscal year 2009-10, dropping franchise names left and right in order to paint a rosier picture for the coming year. One of those names is Assassin's Creed, with the next installment featuring online multiplayer - a first for the series.

From the press release:

"The 2010-11 fiscal year will see a greater number of franchise releases than fiscal year 2009-10, including Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Conviction, a new game in the Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon series, Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands, Driver, Raving Rabbids 4 and a new episode of Assassin's Creed, which will be the first in the series to have an online multiplayer mode."

So how do you take a stealth-action game like Assassin's Creed II and make it multiplayer? Put your speculation hats on, ladies and gentlemen, and fill the comment section with your wisdom. I'll start things off: Tag, you're dead.

The Next Assassin's Creed Features Online Multiplayer - Assassin's Creed - Kotaku

An online Assassins Creed will be interesting, although hard to pull off I'd say. Definitely curious to at least give it a try. Other than that, not a big fan of many of the other series mentioned. Most of them have kinda dried up by now, and just haven't been able to pack a big punch lately, so we'll have to see if Ubisoft managed to actually save itself with these.

I can imagine one side being the guards and the other the assassin, but that's the only mode I can think of. Considering how hard it is to be sneaky in most games, they'll be hard pressed to make it balanced.
