Assassin’s Creed – it all started in November 2007 with Desmond Miles & Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad and now after eight main games, the ninth game is just around the corner.
The historical fiction action-adventure open world stealth video game series moves to Victorian London this year with Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
The Victorian London brings in a host of changes for Assassin’s Creed – “but it’s not the first game to reinvent the series. Every installment brought its own innovations and earth-shaking changes, and we’ll explore them all in this video series, starting with the first one. Find out what Altair did to shape eight years of Assassin’s Creed that followed his debut.”
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate takes place in 1868, at the “tail end of the Industrial Revolution, with the Assassin Brotherhood all but eradicated, twins Jacob (Paul Amos) and Evie Frye (Victoria Atkin) leave Crawley for London and arrive to find a city controlled by the Templars, with both the Church and the Monarchy losing their power.
Raised as Assassins to follow the Creed, Jacob and Evie aim to take back the city from Templar control by infiltrating and uniting London’s criminal underworld, aided by notable figures of the era such as novelist Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin.”
