Assassin's Creed Syndicate will take place in Victorian London in the 19th century. Specifically, in its second half - at the height of the Industrial Revolution, a period full of incredible invention that would transform the lives of millions of people. At this time, the gap between the poor and the rich was rapidly widening, and the lives of ordinary workers were becoming more like legal slavery. The lowest classes of society thus formed a new kind of family - gangs - as part of the struggle for survival and adapted to life in the underworld. Players will take on the roles of Jacob and Evie Frye, assassin twins raised to follow the Code.
Jacob, a determined, hot-blooded and unbridled leader of an underworld gang, is significantly different from his sister Evie, a master of concealment and manipulation. Together, Jacob and Evie will stand against rivals, plutocrats and the Templars to free the people from poverty and corruption and regain control of London. Jacob will be more action-packed and brutal, while Evie will be the rational half of this sibling duo. Evie is supposed to make up 25 percent of the storyline and it will be possible to switch between the two actors at will when you are not completing a mission. Jacob Frye and his sister will have the task of resurrecting the Brotherhood and expelling the Templars from the throne of domination. You will also have new weapons and equipment at your disposal, including a kukri knife, revolver, brass knuckles, Assassin's gloves, or with a rope and grappling hook shooter you can climb any Victorian building, rappel from roof to roof in an instant, or drop from a height directly to your unsuspecting victim.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate introduces players to the largest and most advanced urban open world of any Assassin's Creed game to date. Combat is more brutal than ever before, as you battle enemy gangs and expand your sphere of influence across London. The ability to lead an underworld gang, control any available vehicle, and use modern tools to navigate the sprawling Victorian London is what makes this game so special.
