Will These 5 Features Land Assassin's Creed: Syndicate Among The Greats Of The Franchise? 

Over the years, the world of Assassin’s Creed has been home to many memorable gaming experiences. While many of the games in the series have fallen short of their mark, the upcoming installment, Syndicate (slated for release on October 23rd, 2015), is another chance for Ubisoft to capitalize on everything that has made Assassin’s Creed a success.

Having absorbed all the media related to this upcoming title, there are quite a few things that have me considering a preorder. Herein I present 5 exciting features of Syndicate that will serve to instigate the hype.

This debut trailer does a great job of drawing players into the plot by highlighting the disparity between the upper and working class citizens of London during the Industrial Revolution.
