Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is in development for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, and it takes place in a modern setting featuring a pair of twins—Jacob and Evie Frye.

Well, relatively modern. Assassin’s Creed Syndicate takes place in the year 1868—bang in the middle of the Industrial Revolution. The game will allow you to fight on carriages and trains, and use the rope launcher and the new cane sword to defeat a Templar gang leader.

You can learn more about Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on its official website. Gameplay footage can be viewed above, with a cinematic trailer available below.
