Continuing its attempts to find a setting that in any way rivals the Caribbean playground of Black Flag, Ubisoft is heading to Victorian-era London for next entry Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate.
The studio takes us on a visual tour of the city in this latest trailer. And it’s looking very nice indeed, with a mix of grandeur and squalor that could make for an interesting place to explore.
“London. 1868,” reads the video blurb. “The Industrial Revolution. An age of invention and prosperity, built on the backs of working class slaves. As gangster assassin Jacob Frye, you will recruit your gang to fight for justice on behalf of the oppressed working class. Lead the underworld to take back London in a visceral adventure filled with action, intrigue and brutal combat.”
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will be released on PC and consoles this October 23.
