If you have been looking forward to playing the new Assassin’s Creed: Revelations game and are a member of Sony’s PSN, you will be pleased to know that as of tomorrow from 10am PST, the beta will open up to all PSN gamers and will run until September 11th, 2011.
The PSN beta version of Assassin’s Creed Revelations Multiplayer features nine characters: The Sentinel, The Vanguard, The Guardian, The Vizier, The Thespian, The Deacon, The Bombardier, The Trickster, and The Champion. Each character comes with unique abilities and skills, providing a diverse range of gameplay experiences and strategies.
Maps and Modes
The beta is playable across three maps: the Knight’s Hospital, Antioch, and Constantinople. Each map offers a unique setting and layout, encouraging players to adapt their strategies and tactics to the environment. The Knight’s Hospital, for example, is filled with narrow corridors and hidden corners, perfect for ambushes. Antioch offers a mix of open spaces and tight alleyways, while Constantinople provides a rich historical backdrop with its intricate architecture.
Players can engage in four different playable modes: Wanted, Manhunt, Deathmatch, and Artifact Assault.
– Wanted: In this mode, players must hunt down a target while avoiding being hunted themselves. It’s a game of cat and mouse that requires both stealth and cunning.
– Manhunt: This team-based mode splits players into hunters and prey, with each team taking turns in both roles. Coordination and teamwork are key to success.
– Deathmatch: A free-for-all mode where players must rely on their skills and instincts to outlast their opponents. There are no teams, and everyone is a potential target.
– Artifact Assault: A capture-the-flag style mode where teams must steal artifacts from the enemy’s base and return them to their own. Strategy and speed are crucial in this high-stakes mode.
Abilities and Progression
Eight abilities are available in the Beta, but only some of them are usable from the outset. Others must be unlocked by increasing your rank. These abilities include classic Assassin’s Creed skills like blending into crowds, using smoke bombs, and setting traps. As players progress and rank up, they can unlock more advanced abilities, allowing for deeper customization and more complex strategies.
For example, the ability to disguise oneself as another character can be a game-changer in modes like Wanted and Manhunt, where deception is key. Similarly, the use of poison can turn the tide in a close match, allowing players to take out targets silently and efficiently.
The beta also offers a glimpse into the game’s progression system. Players earn experience points (XP) by completing objectives, eliminating targets, and surviving hunts. As they accumulate XP, they can level up and unlock new abilities, customization options, and character skins. This progression system adds an extra layer of depth to the multiplayer experience, encouraging players to keep honing their skills and experimenting with different playstyles.
More information about the PSN beta can be found on the Ubisoft website. Assassin’s Creed: Revelations will be officially released on November 15th for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. The full game promises to deliver an even richer experience, with a compelling single-player campaign that continues the story of Ezio Auditore and Altair, as well as an expanded multiplayer mode with more characters, maps, and abilities.
