Industrial Revolution
As the Assassin’s Creed games have made there way throughout different periods in history, many fans wanted something a bit more modern. Horses and kings are great and all, but there’s only so much you can do before you’ve done it all. Sure DaVinci gave us a taste of technology before, but it’s time for something real. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate brings players to London in the middle of the Industrial Revolution. Steam machines and powered devices are everywhere, pollution paints the sky, people crowd the streets, and horse and carriages deliver people to trains and everywhere else they need to go.
This paints a gorgeous backdrop rife with opportunity as the world moves toward a new age. It also presents some unique gameplay opportunities not seen previously in the series. Fighting on top of moving carriages through a bustling city, battling it out in a train station as steam fills the area and utilizing the new solid steel machines as cover. Or, maybe you like to see an upgrade to your tools, such as the Rope Launcher, which lets players get their Batman on as they zip up buildings and between vantage points.
The fact that the setting is helping to mold the gameplay is something most definitely worth looking forward to.
