Assassin's Creed Syndicate: Story, Gameplay

Set in 1868 at the height of the Industrial Revolution, the game invites players to explore London through the eyes of Jacob and Evie Frye, twin Assassins who aim to free the city from Templar dominance. Players can take on missions using a mix of stealth and combat, wielding iconic weapons like kukris, cane swords, brass knuckles, and revolvers. The wrist-mounted rope launcher adds a unique twist, allowing players to rapidly climb towering buildings or zip across streets. In a nod to the era’s bustling energy, the game also introduces carriage chases, where players can engage in thrilling rooftop battles with rival gang members.

Available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC (via Ubisoft Connect, Epic Games Store, and Steam), and Amazon Luna, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is also part of Ubisoft+ subscriptions. Subscribers on platforms like PC, Xbox, and PlayStation can dive into the game at no extra cost.
