Evie and Jacob Frye are on a mission to take over London, and the latest Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate trailer gives us insight on how exactly they plan on doing that. The powers that be have forced the twins’ hands, causing them adopt Robin Hood-like methods of vigilante justice, mixed with a little of the Assassins’ own sweet, traditional hidden-dagger tricks of the trade. Check out the trailer at the top of the page.
Ubisoft Montreal hopes to return the Assassin’s Creed name to prominence with this next outing. Syndicate is leaving the cooperative-based gameplay system of Unity behind, and going back series’ bread and butterâa narrative-driven single player experience. Set in Victorian-era London, players will be able to control both Evie and Jacob Frye, as they set out to build a large enough gang network to overthrow the city’s authoritative Templars.
