Ubisoft details cut shared content, Animus features in Assassin's Creed IV
Coming from an OPM interview with Lead Game Designer Jean-Sebastien Decant...
Actually, in terms of multiplayer and shared world, they are things we had to deal with, and even cut, on this game. ...The Animus next to yours would have been your friend on PSN. And after that we had to make decisions to show that we could ship the game and make it the best possible and so it was dropped. We also wanted to have Naval battles and we’re still dreaming of that but… yeah. I think Assassin’s Creed is totally relevant for this kind of experience.
