About Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate places players in Victorian London, letting them experience the city through two protagonists: Jacob Frye, who favors fast melee combat, and Evie Frye, who specializes in stealth. The game’s open world stretches from Buckingham Palace to Big Ben and includes parkour, vehicle chases, and river travel.
Beyond personal missions, the twins work to build a gang that can challenge rival factions. Activities such as robbing trains and rescuing child laborers are presented as part of the effort to bring justice to the streets of industrial London.
