Assassin's Creed Syndicate

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is a third-person action-adventure stealth game set in London during the Industrial Revolution of 1868. Players control twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye, each with distinct abilities: Jacob specializes in brawling and close combat while Evie excels at stealth. Gameplay features open-world exploration of Victorian London using parkour, carriages, a rope launcher, and gang warfare mechanics. The city is divided into boroughs that players liberate from enemy control by completing missions and building their own street gang, the Rooks. Weapons include brass knuckles, revolvers, cane-swords, and kukri knives, all of which can be upgraded.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate

The story

In 1868 London, the Assassin Brotherhood has been nearly wiped out and the city lies firmly under Templar control. Crawford Starrick, a powerful industrialist and crime lord, commands a network of allies embedded throughout London's institutions. Twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye travel from Crawley to the capital to dismantle Starrick's grip on the city. Jacob works to undermine Templar power by eliminating Starrick's lieutenants across London's boroughs, while Evie pursues a Piece of Eden known as the Shroud, racing Templar occultist Lucy Thorne to locate it first. Aided by historical figures such as Alexander Graham Bell, Charles Darwin, and Charles Dickens, the twins build their own street gang, the Rooks, and wage a campaign to liberate London district by district. As the siblings clash over their differing approaches, they must ultimately unite before Starrick can seize the Shroud and consolidate his power over Britain.
