Assassins Creed Syndicate Launching On Oct 23rd For PS4 And Xbox One - PC Version In A

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has been announced, and it takes place in London in 1868. Set during the Industrial Revolution, it’s a time of great upheaval and change as productivity goes through the roof. A world ruled by science, medicine, and money.

The working classes either worked hard and died young, or got involved in crime. Large networks of criminals would form syndicates together, and AC: Syndicate’s two protagonists, Jacob Frye and his sister Evie, are both members of a huge criminal organisation. Expect dubious cockney accents aplenty, particular from gang leader Bloody Nora and her crew.

Ubisoft bill Assassin's Creed Syndicate as the fastest-paced AC yet, with a renewed focus on melee combat. Guns were illegal and so hidden blades are more necessary and lethal than ever. Also new is a rope launcher, allowing buildings to be climbed in seconds, or zipline from rooftop to rooftop. Vehicles will be appearing for the first time ever, with Jacob and Evie capable of commanded horse carts to race down the claustrophobic London streets - Grand Theft Creed indeed.

Gang battles will be necessary to take over boroughs, possibly as a replacement for climbing towers? In these huge teams of brawlers will square off against one another, with the winner taking all.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is out on October 23rd for PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, with a PC release slated for Autumn.
