Which Assassin's Creed title is set primarily in Victorian London in 1868?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is the Assassin's Creed title set primarily in Victorian London in 1868.

Syndicate follows twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye as they arrive in London and work to weaken Templar control over the city. Its historical setting is the Industrial Revolution, when London was expanding rapidly and railways, factories, organized crime, and class divisions shaped daily life. The siblings recruit allies and establish the Rooks, a street gang that supports their campaign.

The year 1868 places the game in the Victorian era and distinguishes it from Unity's revolutionary Paris and Black Flag's early-18th-century Caribbean. Syndicate also features historical figures including Queen Victoria, Charles Dickens, Karl Marx, and Alexander Graham Bell. The game was released in 2015 and uses a grappling launcher and a train-based headquarters to emphasize movement through a dense industrial metropolis.
