Information about its multiplayer mode was found in Assassin's Creed Shadow's game files, suggesting that PvP features may be rolled out at some point.

Although not officially confirmed, some players have shared some of the findings obtained from data mining, including file names such as RED_PVP_Maps, which implies that there is multiplayer content.For those who don't know the situation, the name "Red" is important because it is the internal code name of Assassin's Creed Shadow before the official announcement of the game's name.

Since the 2014 Assassin's Creed: The Revolution, there hasn't been any multiplayer element in the Assassin's Creed series, and Assassin's Creed: The Revolution allows players to team up for cooperative missions.However, Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is the last piece to join the regular player-to-match multiplayer mode, and since 2010's Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, the player-to-match mode has become a feature of the series to a certain extent.

Ubisoft is believed to be developing a pure multiplayer game in the series called Assassin's Creed: Invictus, but details about the game have not been confirmed at the time of writing.It is reported that in addition to the previously announced Assassin's Creed: Hexe, a remake of Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag is also under development.

Assassin's Creed: Shadow was released on PlayStation 5, PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms on March 20, 2025.
