Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is the upcoming ninth main installment in the Assassin's Creed series. The conceptual title and screenshots of the game were first leaked on 2 December 2014, following which Ubisoft acknowledged the leaked assets as genuine.

The game will be set in 19th century London, during the Victorian era, with two protagonists, Jacob and Evie Frye, both of whom are playable. Jacob comes equipped with a rope launcher, allowing him to quickly traverse vertically, in accompaniment with the opportunity to buy hats while fleeing from pursuers to better blend into crowds.

Other tools at Jacob's disposal are halluciogenic darts fired from his Hidden Blade, throwing knives that can be used from range – but with the new feature of activating traps in the environment such as hanging barrels – and a six-barrel revolver. Owing to the era's stricter regulations on carrying weapons, Jacob also wields a kukri in his trenchcoat, a pair of brass knuckles, and at some point wields a sword-cane.
