The next installment in the long-running historical action-adventure series will be Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Slowly this series is working its way up to the modern era. Being set in 1868, during the Wild Western times in the US, the game will feature two playable protagonists, twins Jacob and Evie Frye roaming around the capital of England, London.

According to Ubisoft, Jacob is a "more hot headed, brash and rebellious" figure, while his sister Evie is described as "a relentless Assassin" and "a master of stealth". During the open world experience, players will be able to switch freely between the two characters, while story missions will restrict the choice for narrative reasons.
The story meanwhile sees the twins from Crawley heading to the City, as the Industrial Revolution reaches its climax to free the masses from the poverty they suffer and lead an uprising against an oppressive establishment which conceals the Templars. Among your allies will be prominent Victorians, including novelist Charles Dickens and biologist Charles Darwin.
The game is single-player only, with Ubisoft saying the decision was taken so the development team in Quebec could "focus on creating the biggest city based open-world that we’ve ever had for an Assassin’s Creed game", and Syndicate's Victorian London will be approximately 30% larger than Unity's map. London will consist of six boroughs: Westminster, the Strand, the City of London, Whitechapel, Southwark, and Lambeth. The Thames will also play a prominent role in the game, acting as the major entry and exit point for the beating heart of the Empire.
Assassin's Creed Syndicate will release worldwide on PS4 and Xbox One on October 23rd, and later in the autumn for the PC version.
This game may actually scratch my itch for a good Wild Western game on PC. I know, this is set in London, but the time-frame and technology stays. Give me some of that lever-action rifle.
