Ubisoft released an announcement trailer earlier today that gives new information on the next iteration of the Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is being developed by Ubisoft Quebec along with nine other Ubisoft studios. Based in London, England during the Industrial Revolution, players will be able to take on the role of either Jacob or Evie Frye, twins that were raised to follow the creed.
Jacob is described as a hot headed, rebellious leader of an underground gang formed to fight for the survival of the lower classes. Evie, the first female character in the franchise, is the exact opposite of her twin brother boasting as a master of both stealth and control. Fighting together to free the people from poverty and corruption, and gain back control of London.
The publisher is trumpeting that Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be the largest and most modern open-world in the franchise’s history. New weapons will be introduced such as brash knuckles, a kukri knife and a revolver. Other items for use will include the the zip-line and a rope launcher.
“The ability to lead an underground gang, commandeer any vehicle on hand and use modern tools to take on an expansive and fast-paced Victorian London sets this game apart,” said Marc-Alexis Côté, creative director, Ubisoft. “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has been in development for more than two years and this new modern take on the living open world will please Assassin’s Creed fans and newcomers alike.”
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be available worldwide on October 23 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Windows PC version will have the release date confirmed at a later date, with Ubisoft stating that the game will be released this fall.
