AC: Invictus Like Fall Guys? Rumors Suggest What a Multiplayer Assassin's Creed Could Be

As a seasoned Assassin’s Creed gamer with over a decade of experience, I must admit that the news about AC: Invictus being inspired by Fall Guys has left me both intrigued and apprehensive. The competitive multiplayer aspect has always been a highlight for me in the series, so the idea of a team deathmatch or free-for-all isn’t entirely new or unwelcome. However, I’m not quite sold on the idea of a “speed” mode that resembles a race.


It’s rumored that Fall Guys has been a source of inspiration for the multiplayer aspect of the upcoming Assassin’s Creed series. This tidbit of information was leaked by popular French YouTuber j0nathan, who is well-respected among Assassin’s Creed fans due to his accurate past predictions. The details about the secretive Ubisoft project called “Assassin’s Creed: Invictus” were disclosed by him.

AC: Fall Guys

For quite some time now, we’ve had official confirmation that one of the latest additions to the AC series is a multiplayer game. Yet, the specifics about its format remained unclear. Some fans were speculating that it might resemble the competitive multiplayer from earlier games (missing since Black Flag), essentially an adaptation of hide-and-seek.

On the other hand, it appears that Jonathan’s resources suggest a slightly varied scenario. While team deathmatch and free-for-all modes will be featured in Invictus, they won’t necessarily return in their traditional forms – or at least not exclusively in those traditional forms.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t wait for this upcoming game! It offers an exciting array of gameplay modes, and what makes it even more thrilling is the “speed” mode – think of it as a fast-paced race where players have to reach a specific target. The elimination rounds, which currently support up to 16 players, add another layer of excitement as only the most skilled players move forward. That’s why I can see comparisons being drawn with Fall Guys.

In addition, it was confirmed that there will be maps (or sections of them) and characters from earlier versions, acting as battlefields and player personas. Among these are Ezio and Pompeii, with Pompeii eventually incorporating a lava-covered area. Furthermore, j0nathan has suggested that during breaks between rounds, players can select various abilities to blend and utilize in the final round.

AC multiplayer? Yes, but in the old way

At this point, the details shared by the YouTube creator remain unverified, so it’s advisable to handle them with care. Currently, there’s a wide range of reactions among fans regarding these reports, but it appears that skepticism is predominant.

Indeed, while some individuals may voice their discontent with the coupon clipping aspect of the Assassin’s Creed series, there are those who would jump at the chance to engage in a multiplayer experience set within the Assassin’s Creed (AC) universe, specifically in the battle royale genre. However, it’s crucial that this isn’t just a replica of another popular game; instead, it should be a creative spin on the original multiplayer Assassin’s Creed from Brotherhood.

If the game Invictus is merely a new take on the idea presented in Fall Guys, as some gamers claim, Ubisoft could potentially face a similar fate to Concord, a project that didn’t turn out well for them. Some enthusiasts even suggest that Ubisoft should halt the development of this game before it is released to the public.
