Which Assassin's Creed game is set primarily in Victorian-era London?
Answer
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Answer
Assassin's Creed Syndicate
Assassin's Creed Syndicate is set primarily in Victorian-era London.
The game takes place in 1868, during the Industrial Revolution and the later Victorian period. Players control twins Jacob and Evie Frye, who work to weaken Templar influence in London and build an Assassin presence across the city's boroughs.
Its version of London includes landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, and the Tower of London. The game also introduces a grappling hook, train-based activities, and a mobile gang system that reflect its more industrial setting.
Syndicate is distinct from Unity, which is set in revolutionary Paris roughly eight decades earlier. It is also different from the London sequence in Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India-related releases and other brief modern or historical references elsewhere in the franchise.
