Similar to how they have negotiated an exclusive Tom Clancy’s The Division beta test period for the Xbox One, Ubisoft have confirmed that a partnership with Sony Computer Entertainment is enabling them to provide exclusive content for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate on the PlayStation 4.
PS4 players will be challenged to investigate The Dreadful Crimes, a series of odd murders taking place in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s Victorian London. These ten exclusive missions are directly inspired by the Penny Dreadful stories, weekly pocket novels very popular amongst the working class in 19th century London that narrated fictitious and sensational crime stories. Players will find clues and question multiple witnesses as they progress through stories based on the works of Victorian detective writers.
The missions are playable as Jacob or Evie Frye and will be available on Day One of the launch of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.
In addition to this announcement, Ubisoft also shared two new trailers for the game. The first (available above) focuses on Evie Frye, the eldest of the playable Master Assassins in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Evie executes both her plans and her targets with meticulous precision. Powerful and well-trained, she is a strategic fighter, a conscientious Assassin, faithful to the Creed. Stealthier than her brother Jacob, she is able to infiltrate undetected more easily and has her own distinct methods of taking out her enemies. Together with Jacob they will help free the masses from poverty and terrible working conditions.
The second trailer, available below, is a four and a half minute cinematic trailer for the game.
