Assassins Creed Syndicate is set in Victorian-era London, following twin Assassins who fight to free the city from criminal and Templar control using stealth, combat, and a grappling hook for fast traversal across rooftops and streets. Players can switch between the twins, each with slightly different combat strengths.

The game leans into gang warfare and industrial-era atmosphere alongside the series' usual historical exploration. It suits fans of open-world action games looking for a fast, mobility-focused take on Victorian London.
