- "A different revolution is rising. More subtle. A blaze from the ashes of an old brotherhood. We shall rise. Street gangs will be our armies. The slums, our fortress. They say this is the modern era. I say, it's time for a rebirth. And we shall lead the way."

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is the upcoming ninth main installment in the Assassin's Creed series. The conceptual title and screenshots of the game were first leaked on 2 December 2014, following which Ubisoft acknowledged the leaked assets about Victory as genuine.
The game will be released on 23 October 2015 worldwide on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the PC version as of now announced for Autumn 2015.
The game will be set in 19th century London, during the Victorian era, with twin protagonists, Jacob and Evie Frye, both of whom are playable. The two arrive in London in 1868, as the Industrial Revolution reaches its climax, bringing its lot of inequality and poverty in a city controlled by the Templars. To stop their rule, the Fryes will take over the organized crime in an effort to gather an army and free London.
Development
Edit
Ubisoft Quebec is handling Syndicate's lead development, in conjunction with eight other studios from Montreal, Singapore, Annecy, Montpellier, Chengdu, Shanghai, Kiev and Reflections. Teams from Ubisoft Sofia, Barcelona and Toronto are also involved in the game's completion.[1]
Having gained solid brand experience from their contributions to previous entries in the Assassin's Creed franchise, Ubisoft Quebec has reportedly been working on Syndicate for more than two years. They are collaborating closely with Ubisoft Montreal, whose significant contributions to the game include producing London's landmarks, creating "living and breathing" crowds and improving the parkour gameplay's smoothness.[1]
Ubisoft Singapore, who pioneered the naval gameplay seen in Assassin's Creed III and subsequent entries, as well Assassin's Creed: Unity's time anomalies, has focused on new gameplay along the River Thames. Ubisoft Annecy is responsible for the development of the dynamic Train Hideout, a mobile headquarters for the Assassins around which several side missions will center. These missions will feature a strong narrative that enriches Syndicate's "gang fantasy".[1]
One of the game's boroughs, Whitechapel, is being developed Ubisoft Montpellier, who are also working on side missions related to historical figures and specific sections within main missions. Ubisoft Reflections is a developer known for working on racing games, and has been brought in to create the free roaming vehicle gameplay. Along with vehicle degradation and in-vehicle combat mechanics, Reflections has produced several side activities that involve racing with horse-drawn carriages.[1]
Ubisoft Chengdu is reponsible for a large variety of boats, environment assets and crowd animations, while Ubisoft Shanghai handles architecture and character assets. As with previous entries, Ubisoft Kiev is working on Syndicate's PC version.
