Assassin’s Creed Syndicate London Horizon Trailer

Watch a new trailer above for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, which goes on sale October 23rd for  Xbox One, PS4 and PC.

Info:

Developed by Ubisoft Quebec in collaboration with eight other Ubisoft studios, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is an epic single player experience set in London during the height of the Industrial Revolution, an incredible age of invention that transforms the lives of millions. During this time, the gap between the poor and the rich expands exponentially, making workers’ lives little more than legalised slavery. The lower classes fight for survival by forming a new kind of family – gangs – and adapting to life in the criminal underworld. Players will embody both Jacob Frye and Evie Frye, twin Assassins raised to follow the Creed. Jacob, a determined, hot-headed and rebellious leader of an underground gang, is vastly different than his sister Evie, a master of stealth and control. Together, Jacob and Evie team up to challenge rivals, plutocrats and Templars alike to free the masses from poverty and corruption, and, ultimately, wrestle back control of London.

In Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, players explore the largest, most modern open-world city ever created in an Assassin’s Creed game. The fighting is more brutal than ever, as players combat rival gangs and grow their sphere of influence throughout London using new weapons, including brass knuckles, a kukri knife, a revolver and the Assassin’s gauntlet. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate also includes innovative navigation and transportation throughout the open world, including a rope launcher for scaling tall Victorian buildings, zip-lining from rooftop to rooftop or performing aerial assassinations, and horse-drawn carriages and high-speed trains for free-running, tracking down enemies or escaping after daring raids.

Key Features:
– Put up your dukes and play as the first gangster assassin at the birth of the modern age, Jacob Frye. Unleash your arsenal of weapons, including the kukri knife, brass knuckles, and sword cane in brutal combat and utilize the brand new rope launcher to scale buildings in seconds or take your enemies by surprise.

– From Buckingham Palace to Big Ben, fight and triumph across the fast-paced open world of Industrial London using high speed trains and carriages.

– Establish Great Britain’s fiercest gang, the only force that can challenge the elite and defeat rival gangs to bring freedom to the oppressed masses

– Also play as Jacob’s twin sister Evie, a relentless Assassin who has perfected the silent, swift, invisible strike.

Assassin’s Creed Films In September Starring Michael Fassbender

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20342:]]

While Michael Fassbender looks to be done with the X-Men following Apocalypse, the actor kicks off a new frachise with Assassin’s Creed.

Fassbender, who is starring in and producing Assassin’s Creed, told ComingSoon.net the movie begins filming in September.

“You say it’s a long time but what I’ve found–it’s all new to me but starting to develop scripts and work on them, they take time,” he countered to our mention of the delays in getting the movie made. “It just takes time to get a good story together and we really want to do it right. It’s exciting. It’s going to start this year, we’ll be filming in September.”

Fassbender wouldn’t say anything else about the film other than not to believe everything you hear when it was mentioned he might be playing Desmond Miles, the modern-day protagonist of the first few Assassin’s Creed games.

“You don’t know that. Don’t listen to what they tell you, that’s the first rule,” he said with a smile. 

What is known about the movie is that Fassbender will star alongside Marion Cottilard, with Justin Kurzel directing for a December 21, 2016 release.

Fox also announced the third Planet of the Apes movie will be delayed a year to July 14, 2017.

Fox’s Fantastic Four 2 previously held the July 14, 2017 release, which will now be moved up six weeks to June 2, 2017.

Fox also gave the Assassin’s Creed movie a December 21, 2016 release which will star Michael Fassbender, with Justin Kurzel directing.
