London, 1868. The Industrial Revolution unleashes an incredible age of invention, transforming the lives of millions with technologies once thought impossible. Opportunities created during this time period have people rushing to London to engage in this new world. A world no longer controlled by kings, emperors, politicians or religion, but by a new common denominator: money. However, not everyone is able to enjoy the benefits of this boom. Despite fueling the engine of the British Empire, workers lives are little more than legalised slavery while the top few percent profit from their labour. Living poor and dying young, the lower class unite together in protest as a new kind of family gangs who turn to a life in the underworld in their struggle to survive. A struggle, until watchful Assassins come to their side and reignite an ageold conflict involving Londons leaders that will echo throughout modern history from the underground, up. Introducing Assassin Jacob Frye, who with the help of his twin sister Evie, will change the fate of millions in the upcoming Assassins Creed Syndicate.
