The Grand End Of An Era - Assassin's Creed Syndicate 10th Anniversary Special Retrospective
Analysis
2015’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate took players on the most modern and technologically advanced Assassin adventure yet, set during the dawn of the Industrial Revolution at the height of Victorian London. The game brought to life one of the most lively, vibrant and activity packed open worlds the series has ever seen, packed with a wide variety of activities to keep you entertained for hours.
This game also marked the end of an era for the franchise, being the last game of what could now be considered the classic era of AC, as well as being the final game after 6 years of annual instalments since Assassin’s Creed II in 2009. It might also be safe to say a lot was hanging on this game, coming off of the infamous and disastrous launch of AC Unity only a year earlier. In the end though, for the final instalment before the franchise would go on a two year hiatus and in different directions, it definitely went out in style, offering some of the most fun gameplay to date, all to critical acclaim and more.
We explore this and everything else from the story and characters, Modern Day, Jack The Ripper story DLC and more in this special retrospective, celebrating 10 years of Assassin's Creed Syndicate! Full retrospective up now on our YouTube channel!
