The public will finally have their chance to play Assassin’s Creed: Revelations this week, as the multiplayer beta is set for release. The beta is open to all Playstation Plus customers and PS3 owners in possession of any Uplay-enabled game.
The beta will introduce many different features of the game such as: perks, abilities, modes, playlists, Abstergo credits, level cap, character customization, challenges, and of course – leaderboards. From all we have read, it looks like Ubisoft is really stepping up their game in the multiplayer space; you be the judge, read over some of the information we have provided, and comment below!
