Ubisoft has unsheathed a brand new trailer for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, set to iconic British rockers The Clash’s ‘London Calling.’
Check it out below. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be released for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One worldwide on October 23—that’s tomorrow, so get your wallets handy, folks.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate takes place in Victorian London in the year 1868, and focuses on siblings Jacob and Evie Frye as they battle the Templar order in the midst of the Industrial Revolution. Curiously, the game eschews the multiplayer elements of previous Assassin’s Creed titles, which have been included since 2010’s Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood. Despite being primarily set in 1800s London, Syndicate will incorporate a modern-day storyline, although details on this have yet to be revealed.
New to the table in Syndicate includes the ability to switch between two characters at any point in the game. The Frye siblings each have their own special attributes; Jacob is more at home in close-quarters brawling, while Evie prefers a more stealthy approach and relies on her wit and intelligence to see her through. Syndicate also introduces a rope launcher to facilitate rooftop navigation, while weapons include a revolver, brass knuckles and a cane sword.
Ubisoft has confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will support microtransactions and will also receive two free costumes next month; one for each of the game’s protagonists. Be sure to check out the latest footage of the game for an idea of what to expect, and read up on the day-one patch while you’re at it. PSU will be getting its mitts on the Big Ben Edition of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which features a host of physical goodies in addition to a copy of the London-based adventure. We’ll be sure to post up some shots for you alongside our review over the next coupel of days.
