The Frye twins of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate (opens in new tab) share a deep bond, thicker than the gallons of blood pooling at their feet.The latest trailer for the game establishes the relationship between the ambitious gang boss Jacob and the more measured Evie, and how they’ll work together to make London of the Industrial Revolution a little safer for common folks – and a lot more dangerous for robber barons.
The trailer is mostly composed of actual fistfighting, neck-stabbing, and train-hopping gameplay, albeit with dramatic vignettes and slow motion effects.
