Protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye lead a revolt against the oppression of the ruling classes. The slums are depicted as havens for the assassins. Street gangs play a part in the story.
Syndicate will allow players to take the role of both a male and a female protagonist. Sibling assassins named Jacob and Evie prowl the London shadow-world. According to IGN:
"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."
Weapons
Close range combat is the norm. Revolvers, brass knuckles, and a Bladed Assassin's gauntlet are among the weapons in your arsenal. An assassin is also depicted wielding a kukri. Throwing knives may be used for silent kills.
Hallucinogenic darts turn enemies against each other, creating an environment of confusion to expedite assassinations.
A swinging blade and rope launcher concealed in the Assassin's Gauntlet allow for expedited climbing. The rope launcher allows an Assassin to quickly reach the top of tall buildings, and a zip-line feature expedites traversal above the streets.
Environmental Attacks
Players may now use environmental elements to kill enemies. The May 12 preview by Ubisoft depicted an Assassin taking out a guard by cutting a rope and dropping hoisted barrels on an enemy.
Areas
AC Syndicate includes seven buroughs, including London proper, Westminster, Strand, Southwark, Lambeth, Whitechapel, and the Thames. The map is 30% larger than the area covered in Unity's Paris.
Gang Wars
Rival Assassin and Templar gangs engage in mass battles for control of neighborhoods. Playerstake part in these brawls, using their skills to muscle their way into new neighborhoods.
Traffic
Players may now parkour across vehicles, take control of carriages, and use vehicles for assassination.
