Perhaps we'll see it in Assassin's Creed 3? Assassin's Creed was originally planned as a trilogy so if they're going to add they'd better do it soon. Plourde does recognize that these things need time and dedication, "For Brotherhood we focused first and foremost on the validation for multiplayer. In campaign, co-op comes with a lot of challenge. At GDC the Saint's Row guys were like: 'if you want your game to have co-op - especially in a sandbox - you need to build it from the ground up.' They're right - it's a couple of years of turnaround to make sure co-op would work."
He's thankful that they have time to incorporate it the right way, saying, "With Brotherhood we're expanding the brand, but we also have the quiet confidence that we're successful enough to take our time. That's super liberating. We have great ideas, but we can put some of them on the back-burner for the time being then - next time round - revisit some of those old ideas."
Assassins Creed will "definitely" feature co-op in the future. Still plenty of time to find an accomplice, though Via GamesRadar
