BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
There might not be a new AC title in 2024, thanks to Shadows’ delay, but Assassin’s Creed Syndicate has a little surprise in store.
Well this is a nice surprise
No that headline isn’t a misprint, we’re talking about Assassin’s Creed Syndicate in November of 2024. Just to fill you in if you forgot, Ubisoft’s 2015 release for the long-running series, Syndicate sent players to 1800’s London, and set them to task as the brother/sister duo of Jacob and Evie Frye.
There the Assassin-siblings worked within the criminal underworld to free the jolly old town from the grip of the Templars. The game itself featured heavy use of trains to get around the massive city, and flipped play back and forth between Evie and Jacob.
Honestly too, the title still looks pretty sharp today, and making it look even better is the fresh update that’s just about to come across. That update will bump the game’s visuals up so that it will run in 4K resolution at 60fps, on new-gen consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Set in 1868, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate follows a pair of Assassin twins, Jacob and Evie Frye, as they explore London and build up a gang – the Rooks – to take the city back from Templar domination. The most modern-set Assassin’s Creed to date (present-day storylines notwithstanding), it lets players wield concealed weapons including kukris, cane swords, revolvers, and brass knuckles, and use a wrist-mounted rope launcher to rapidly climb London’s huge, intricately detailed buildings and launch ziplines across its broad avenues. Players can also take full advantage of the carriages that rumble through the streets, leading the Templar-controlled Blighter gang on high-speed chases (and jumping to the roof to fight any pursuers who try to climb aboard).
Ubisoft news release
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is available now for current and last-gen Xbox and Playstation consoles, the PC (via the Ubisoft store, Epic Games Store, and Steam) and Amazon’s Luna. As for the update, that isn’t out just yet, but will arrive tomorrow, on November 19th, 2025.
