Assassin's Creed: Syndicate announced

Ubisoft has announced Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, the newest installment in the franchise, will be available worldwide on October 23, 2015.

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec in collaboration with nine other Ubisoft studios, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is a single player experience set in London during the height of the Industrial Revolution. Players will embody both Jacob Frye and Evie Frye, twin assassins raised to follow the Creed. Jacob, a determined, hot-headed and rebellious leader of an underground gang, is vastly different than his sister Evie, a master of stealth and control. Together, Jacob and Evie team up to challenge rivals, plutocrats and Templars alike to free the masses from poverty and corruption, and ultimately wrestle back control of London.

The game promises to offer the largest, most modern open-world city yet in an Assassin’s Creed game. The fighting is more brutal than ever, as players battle using new weapons, including brass knuckles, a kukri knife, a revolver and the Assassin’s gauntlet. Syndicate also includes new navigation and transportation throughout the open world, including a rope launcher for scaling tall Victorian buildings, zip-lining from rooftop to rooftop or performing aerial assassinations, and horse-drawn carriages and high-speed trains for free-running, tracking down enemies or escaping.

Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate will be available in October for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A PC version will follow at a later date.
