Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate’s gang warfare involves racing, explosions, and pub brawls

LOS ANGELES — Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate takes you to a place an Assassin has never traveled before … a London pub.

Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on Oct. 23, it’s the latest entry in developer Ubisoft’s annual globe-trotting series, and we learned more about it today during the publisher’s press briefing at the Electronic Entertainment Expo gaming tradeshow. Ubisoft showed a new trailer where hero Jacob Frye and his gang, the Rooks, are hunting down one of the Templars. The fight involved racing carriages, an explosion on a bridge, and a duel in a steel mill. Later, Jacob is part of a brutal brawl at a pub.
