Set in the mid-19th century, Assassin's Creed Syndicate follows the story of twin siblings, Jacob and Evie Frye. They are members of a group of rebels fighting against the Templar Order, which has taken control of London. As they delve deeper into the world of espionage and sabotage, the twins uncover secrets about their family's past and their own destinies.
The gameplay in Assassin's Creed Syndicate is fast-paced and action-packed, with a focus on melee combat and parkour. Players control either Jacob or Evie as they navigate through the streets of Victorian-era London, taking down enemies and completing missions for their resistance group. The game also features a unique "Double Agent" system, where players can switch between their twin siblings to access new abilities and take advantage of different gameplay mechanics.
