Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – Build an Underworld Empire in Victorian London with Ubisoft+

news.ubisoft.com:

Assassin's Creed Syndicate brings players to Victorian London in 1868, at a time when the Industrial Revolution was transforming the city with new technologies and massive construction projects. This gleaming new destiny contrasts sharply with the era's poverty-stricken slums, widespread child labor, and rampant criminal underworld - all of which form a wedge that Evie and Jacob Frye will drive between the city and its Templar overlords. You can kick off their street-level war for the heart of London yourself with a Ubisoft+ Premium or Classics subscription (with the former also delivering all its DLC, including the Jack the Ripper expansion). The game is also available for up to 75% off through Ubisoft's Black Friday sale until Dec. 3 - and if you're playing on a console, there's never been a better time to grab it, since Assassin's Creed Syndicate can now run at 60 FPS on Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

As two lone Assassins in a metropolis run by Templar industrialist crime lords, the Frye twins will need to be resourceful to survive; for brash brother Jacob, that means founding a street gang, the Rooks, to brawl for territory against the Templar-connected Blighters. His more tactically minded sister Evie works her way through the city's upper classes and intelligentsia, racing to beat the Templars to the mysterious First Civilization artifact they're searching for. Along the way, they'll make friends with the likes of Alexander Graham Bell, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and even Queen Victoria herself. And while each twin has their own story missions, you can switch between them at will while exploring the city, taking advantage of Jacob's strength or Evie's stealth abilities as needed.
