World carriages, trains, modern eras, Queen Victoria, Industrial Revolution. Yes, the Assassin's Creed series finally took action against London in the mid-19th century. In this way, it may be that the next goal of the United States in the 20th century is Ubisoft (laugh).

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is led by Ubisoft Quebec Studios and developed in collaboration with nine other Ubisoft Studios, and will bring players an epic single-player plot. The story set in London at the peak of the Industrial Revolution, a surprising age of invention that changed the lives of millions of people. However, at the same time, the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually drifting away, making workers become legitimate slaves. In order to survive, people from the lower classes gathered together to form a new type of family-gang organization and lived an unknown life under the table.

The Templars control gangs of all sizes in London, and the protagonist's mission is to fight against the Templars and rescue the slum dwellers in the dire straits. It sounds simple. But what you think is what you think is what you think?

In London in 1868, an industrial revolution led the society that was almost still in the medieval era to the beginning of a modern society. Capitalist production completed the transition from workshop handicraft industry to large-scale machinery industry. From then on, machines replaced human resources and became the primary productivity. The means of transportation have developed significantly. In the next few years, the length of the railway construction is enough to circle the earth (a certain milk tea can circle the earth twice!).

But the rapid urbanization brought about by the industrial revolution has led to a sharp polarization, and the social environment has entered a vicious cycle: everyone is looking for a job to support their families, which has led to a continuous decline in wages and can only maintain basic food and clothing. This is an era where money is paramount. To put it in a sentence: this is the best era and the worst. On the one hand, it is the comfortable living enjoyment of factory owners; on the other hand, it is the desperate survival struggle of unemployed workers. People's living standards vary too much, and this is a country with a gap between heaven and hell. The upper class still ruled the city, while the lower class had nothing but working hard and living.

The editor here boldly analyzes some factors that Ubisoft chose the London Industrial Revolution as the stage for this work:

First of all, as an indispensable part of the history of human civilization development, how could Ubisoft let go of this big cake? It is not difficult to see from the trailer and promotional video released early this morning that Ubisoft has planned to use London as a stage for a long time.

The question is here, why has Ubisoft just started to share this cake? Let's take a closer look at the timeline of the assassin, from the Third Crusade in 1191, the Renaissance in 1476, the Seventh Years War in 1752, to the French Revolution in the late 18th century, Ubisoft counts the major reforms in human history and presents them to us one by one in games, "Assassin's Creed" leads us from Italy to France, traveling in no corner of the world.

Finally, all the stories in Assassin's Creed tell a theme: Fight for the freedom of the people! In the era of the Industrial Revolution, London, England was in an era of workers becoming slaves. Such a good theme was simply tailor-made for the Assassin's Creed series.

The protagonist's belief is more like a revolt, a struggle between the civilian class and the aristocratic class than saving the people from water and fire. And the origin of everything is just for a better life and for freedom.

We walk in the darkness and serve the light. We are assassins, and they say this is the modern era... I said that now is the time to be reborn, remember that "everything is empty and everything is allowed."
