Travel back in time to the 19th century London, seen through the eyes of twins Jacob and Evie Frye. Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate brings the ongoing war between Assassins and Templars to the Victorian Era, with its landmarks and figures for you to interact with. Form your own street gang, investigate mysteries, liberate London. Dual protagonist Watch the events unfolding across The Greatest City in the world through the eyes of the Frye twins, trained to be assassins since their earliest years. Evie is the stealthiest of the two, virtually impossible to detect when she wishes, skilled with hidden blades, and with a mind for careful planning. Jacob is the fighter, preferring action and thinking on his feet to hours of meticulous planning. Alone they are dangerous, together they are a force of nature. And you can typically switch between them on the fly. Detailed progression Gain experience as you play and use it to upgrade and expand Jacob’s and Evie’s abilities, shaping them the way you want. Specialise them early on to highlight their innate talents, or even out their gifts with a bunch of upgrades outside of their specific proficiencies. It’s up to you to decide. And since they share experience, you won’t miss out on anything if you prefer to play one of them over the other!
