Which Assassin’s Creed game takes place in Victorian London during the Industrial Revolution?

The story behind the answer

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate takes place in Victorian London during the Industrial Revolution.

Released in 2015, Syndicate follows Jacob and Evie Frye as they work to weaken Templar influence across London. The city is divided into districts that the twins gradually bring under Assassin control through missions, gang activities, and encounters with historical figures.

Its setting reflects nineteenth-century changes including factories, rail transport, crowded urban neighborhoods, and the expansion of industry. The game also uses recognizable locations such as the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace.

Syndicate is distinct from Assassin’s Creed Unity, which is set in Paris during the French Revolution. Both games depict European cities undergoing major political or social change, but their locations and historical periods are different.
