London, 1868. The Industrial Revolution unleashes an incredible age of invention, transforming the lives of millions with technologies once thought impossible. Opportunities created during this time period have people rushing to London to engage in this new world. A world no longer controlled by kings, emperors, politicians or religion, but by a new common denominator: money.
However, not everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of this boom. Despite fueling the engine of the British Empire, workers’ lives are little more than legalized slavery while the top few percent profit from their labor. Living poor and dying young, the lower class unite together in protest as a new kind of family – gangs – who turn to a life in the underworld in their struggle to survive. A struggle, until watchful Assassins come to their side and re-ignite an age-old conflict involving London’s leaders that will echo throughout modern history from the underground, up.
Introducing Assassin Jacob Frye, who with the help of his twin sister Evie, will change the fate of millions in the upcoming Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate. Rise to rally and lead the underworld to break the corrupt stranglehold on London in a visceral adventure filled with action, intrigue and brutal combat.
Key Features
THE FIRST ASSASSIN AT THE BIRTH OF THE MODERN AGE - As the brash, rebellious Jacob Frye, throw up your dukes and take on enemies with lightning-fast multi-kills and countermoves. Use improved stealth tactics to elude your enemies, then unleash your arsenal of all-new weapons including the kukri knife, brass knuckles and cane sword. Utilize new technology like the rope launcher to scale buildings in seconds and take your enemies by surprise.
TRAVERSE THE FAST-PACED WORLD OF INDUSTRIAL LONDON - From Buckingham Palace to Whitechapel, fight and triumph across the massive open world of Victorian London. Parkour across moving vehicles to track down enemies or escape after a daring raid. Hijack carriages and engage in no-holds-barred street races or blaze a trail of destruction aboard steamboats on the River Thames.
TAKE-OVER THE LONDON UNDERWORLD - With Jacob as the leader, gamers can establish Great Britain’s fiercest gang, the only force that can challenge the plutocrats and defeat rival gangs, to bring freedom to the oppressed masses. Enemy strongholds can be infiltrated by using an arsenal of weapons to dominate London’s underworld. From robbing trains to rescuing child laborers, players will stop at nothing to bring justice to London’s lawless streets.

Had this since release. Excellent game, easily one of the best in the AC series, so if you're a fan this is a great price.

The £40+ version I bought now sits forgotten and gathering dust,alongside a growing number of other titles on the shelf of shame,mainly due to this apparently 'free' Neverwinter game :confused:

this is cheap! i haven't played this one but an a fan of the series. I am glad they didn't add multiplayer as past AC multiplayer was really boring for me. some games have good enough single player that they dont need a online mode tacked on

Any idea if this is English? I've been getting sent import versions recently (including from Base) with Arabic like writing writing on the cover. It's still playable in English but doubt it'll be easy to trade in.
I ended up just buying it on Amazon (directly from Amazon) for £14.something. Be sure to select Amazon from the other sellers as they're not the current cheapest but I can confirm you get the English version of the game.
