Which Assassin’s Creed game introduced the London-based Frye twins?

The story behind the answer

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate introduced the London-based Frye twins, Jacob and Evie.

Released in 2015, Syndicate is set in London during the Industrial Revolution. The siblings work together to weaken Templar control and build an Assassin presence across the city. Players can switch between Jacob and Evie, whose missions and abilities emphasize different approaches.

Jacob is generally associated with direct combat and the formation of the Rooks, while Evie focuses more strongly on stealth and the search for Pieces of Eden. Their partnership is central to the game’s story and distinguishes Syndicate from earlier entries with a single primary historical protagonist.

The game also features a grappling hook, carriages, trains, and a large Victorian London map. It is sometimes confused with Unity because both games focus on European cities and cooperative or urban Assassin gameplay, but Unity is set in revolutionary Paris, whereas Syndicate is set in nineteenth-century London.
