The most notable of these, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate: Jack the Ripper, is set twenty years after the main campaign, and involves Evie’s pursuit of the titular unidentified serial killer, who is also playable.Īssassin’s Creed Syndicate received positive reviews, with praise for its visuals, characters, narrative, and level design. After launch, the game was supported with several releases of downloadable content (DLC), including three story expansions. Players control the two lead protagonists throughout the game’s story, switching between them both during and outside of missions. The game introduces new travelling systems and refined combat and stealth mechanics. The game is played from a third-person perspective and its open world is navigated on foot or by carriage. The narrative also includes segments set in 1916, during World War I, which follow Jacob’s granddaughter, Lydia Frye. The main story is set in London in 1868, at the onset of the Second Industrial Revolution, and follows twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye as they navigate the corridors of organised crime and take back the city from Templar control. The framing story is set in the 21st century and follows the same unnamed and unseen protagonist from Assassin’s Creed Unity, who assists the Assassins in their race against the Templars to find an artifact hidden in London. The game’s plot follows the premise of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, involving a fictional history of real-world events where a secret war has been fought for centuries between two factions: the Brotherhood of Assassins, who promote peace and liberty, and the Templar Order, who desire peace through control.

It is the ninth major installment in the Assassin’s Creed series, and the successor to 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity. It was released on October 23, 2015, for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and on November 19, 2015, for Microsoft Windows.
