Evie is more of a stealth-type character while Jacob is more of a confrontational character where he’ll gladly put up the dukes and take on all comers. Both characters have their distinct play style.

One major difference this year is that we get to play the game with two protagonists: Evie and Jacob Frye. If it ain’t broke (and I use that term loosely), don’t fix it right? This year’s iteration will still have players sneak around and run around up all across London in order to restore peace and liberate the town from oppressing Templar forces. Not to rest on their laurels, our heroic twins infiltrate the seedy criminal underground world in order to overthrow the Templars and reclaim the city.Īfter a rocky debut on current-gen with Unity last year, Ubisoft doesn’t reinvent the wheel with Syndicate. Upon their arrival, they can clearly see that the Templars has a strong hold on the city. Syndicate takes places in 1868, during the tail end of the Industrial Revolution where Jacob and Evie Frye, twin assassins, leave Crawley for London. So is Syndicate a step up or step down? Well… While the Ezio trilogy (2009, 20) were polished and well-crafted experiences, things have been going downhill with Assassin’s Creed III and last year’s disastrous Unity. Ever since then, games, mostly the ones for home consoles, have been taking a drop quality wise. After a few pitfalls, they came back in 2009 with Assassin’s Creed II a much more deep and fleshed out experience.

Going all the way back to 2007, their first game was a great template for things to come. Ubisoft is back with it’s 22nd (!) game (in eight years) of their Assassin’s Creed franchise. Release date: October 23rd 2015 (PS4/Xbox One) / November 19th (PC)įamily Focus: Click here for more information.
