Ubisoft today revealed their next installment in the AC franchise, Assassin's Creed Syndicate. It will only be released on current generation consoles as well as PC with Xbox 360 and PS3 missing out. Sorry, but you knew this was coming. A host of new information was revealed and confirmed and we'll get into it below in a handy list of bullet points for you. Take a look as well as at the trailer at the bottom.
- Main character Jacob Frye
- Also play as his twin sister Evie Frye, a more compartmentalized, logistic approach to combat.
- Takes place in London 1868 during Industrial Revolution and vehicles introduced into the game.
- Use horse and carriages, vehicles fitting the period to hide in, attack from, run over enemies and parkour off of.
- Assassin's Gauntlet new weapon, like a Batman grapple, allows you to climb a building in seconds. Also allows you to use it mid air in a jump in order to create a zipline.
- Will only be single player, no MP, as Ubisoft wants to make up for Unity and make the best game possible this time around (good idea)
- London is one of 7 boroughs/cities in the game you will explore. Take our leaders of street gangs to enlist gangs under your command in Gang strongholds.
- Gang Wars - your gang vs. another, as in the area gang boss, in order to control that borough. Control all 7 in order to rise up against those in charge as "Oppression must end"
- Fastest Assassin's Creed ever made as there is an all new focus on combat .
The game will release on October 23rd on both Xbox One and PS4 as well as PC. You can see some of the gameplay below and we'll have more info as it comes out. We've reached out to Ubisoft as well in an effort to get them on the show. More on that as it comes.
