Play 3.5 million matches of Revelations, unlock… one map!

Ubisoft Community Developer Gabriel Graziani, also known as UbiGabe, announced on Reddit today that the Assassin’s Creed Revelations Multiplayer Community Unlock Event has officially begun.

What is the ACRMCUE (as it’s known here at T3)?

According to Graziani, it’s a platform-agnostic community goal not unlike the one used to unlock Air Superiority in Battlefield 1943.* Everyone’s in it together:

The rules are simple, starting today, we are recording the number of multiplayer matches people play in Assassin’s Creed Revelations multiplayer. Once our community collectively reaches 3.5 million matches, we’ll unlock a new multiplayer map for everyone!

Will this single map be any good? Is it a Brotherhood map, or another map from ACR’s single player? Or is it a lighting tweak, like the “maps” released during the holidays?

There’s no way of knowing, but take comfort in two small things:

1. The community will eventually unlock free, extra content for you
2. The price ($0) is significantly better than the value of the Mediterranean Traveler Map Pack

If I get any more information, I’ll certainly share it. In the meantime, get online and start playing really short rounds of Corruption. Because I sure as hell am not going to be the one grinding out the majority of the matches.

* The best thing DICE ever did for its series as of late. Also, they never did it again. Figures.
