Ubisoft has revealed that the multiplayer story in Assassin’s Creed III will continue long after the game launches in October.

Players will be given new challenges to every month, and completing these will unlock more of the game’s storyline. Assassin’s Creed III‘s multiplayer story focuses on the Animus device being put on general sale so that everyone can enjoy some virtual world killing.

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

“What are the real motivations behind Abstergo’s sudden initiative to release such a revolutionary product to the public?” Keiken added. “A product that is redefining the way we’re thinking, the way we’re living…”
