As rumoured last year, the new Assassins Creed game takes place in Victorian London in the 19th century - the year 1868 to be exact - in the heart of the industrial revolution where money rules the world and organised crime seeks to take advantage. The city of London in AC: Syndicate is said to be 30% larger than AC: Unitys Paris and is divided into six boroughs named Lambeth, The Strand, Southwark, Westminster, Whitechapel and The City of London. Liberating the poor in each district is one of the main ways to turn the city in your favour and acquire the services of potential allies.
