That's it ! We finally got some informations about the new Assassin's Creed game. It takes 2 years to develop it. Ubisoft just showed to the fan the game trailer and presented the game. So let's go !
First we learned that the game is called Assassin's Creed Syndicate and not Assassin's Creed Victory as rumors said.
The game takes place in 1868 in Victorian London. It's an important time for History because there is the Industrial Revolution. So there are trains and carriages. But there is also poverty.

The hero of this game is an assassin named Jacob Frye. He was born in 1847 and has a twin sister : Evie who's more quiet than his brother but it doesn't stop her from being a formidable assassin. They both were raised by assassins. Their purpose is to release London from the Templars who scared the city. Does Evie will be playable ? We still don't know but it could be cool.
Now what's new in this game?

| the Kukri is a big knife |
Well if we look a little deeper to the weapons there is a new arsenal, and it looks very interesting. Our hero Jacob doesn't have a sword like in the other AC beacuse Ubisoft explained that in the London of the 19th century, nobody can walk down the street with a sword on his belt. So Jacob uses a Kukri (the Far Cry gamers would know what it is ^^), a revolver, a brass knuckles
and BIG NEW a grapnel. Jacob can also use hallucinogenic darts.
Of course what could be an assassin without the secret blade ? Jacob has it too and like Arno it's a Ghost Blade. He can throw knives too.
But as I said before the big new is the Jacob's grapnel. Thanks to this Jacob can reach roofs more easily. He can also zip line.
So you could visit London from rooftops.
An other exciting new, we could use carriages and fight on them! Indeed there will be chasing games and in the London of the 19th century there is traffic so you could use vehicules of this period.
The combat system has been revamped. The fights are faster and more realistic compared to the other AC games.
Now you know everything that Ubisoft told us but what's the purpose in this game? The Assassins have to release London from the Templars. For that you could use the surrounding environment to kill your enemies and you have to gather an army thanks to gang wars or to get new territories.
The game will be available on the 23 october of this year for PS4 and Xbox ONE. If you're a PC gamer it will be available on autumn 2015 but there is no specific date. If you want more informations go on the Ubisoft website (for the french version go there).
So what do you guys think about it? Do you think this game will be better than Unity? Tell me in the comments.
This is the trailer for the game. Enjoy ;)
