Ubisoft has revealed Assassin's Creed 3 co-op mode Wolf Pack, a time and "sequence-based" affair which pits you and a three other players against unsuspecting groups of AI characters.
It sounds like Horde Mode, taking place on what appear to be discreet multiplayer environments rather than in the campaign world, but the roles are reversed - you're on the offence, racing the clock to your marks.
Successfully killing one set of baddies unlocks the next sequence, of which there are 25 in all, with later sequences imposing truly draconian time limits.
Your targets won't stand there dumbly while you gut their mates.
Tougher contenders will fight back, and you can expect lookouts and even decoys.
Get boshed, and another player will need to help you back to your feet.
Players can earn bonus XP - spent on new characters and costumes - by syncing up their movements, filleting all members of a target group simultaneously.
Head over to IGN for snippets of gameplay footage.
News of an Assassin's Creed 3 co-op mode leaked earlier this year via Xbox Live Marketplace, along with news of a competitive multiplayer component for up to eight players.
