The latest installment in the Assassin's Creed series has finally stepped out of the shadows and revealed its name as Assassin's Creed Syndicate, not Victory as previously reported.

Set in Victorian London during 1868 the single-player adenture will see you steer the top hat wearing, cocky young blighter, Jacob Frye through the busy streets of London, stealing carriages, grappling up to the smokey rooftops using the new rope launcher, building up your gang, starting fights with other gangs and, as you might expect, stabbing a lot of other "blighters".

Yes, it would appear that there will be no holds barred when it comes to the use of blokes, blighters and other slang... and, as a Londoner, it did make me cringe just a little bit... but it does give it a rather Oliver Twist feel (and the Jacob Frye could easily be a young Bill Sykes).

The combat looks pretty brutal and the carriages certainly add a new aspect to movement... although the wide streets may prove a little boring for those of use that prefer to use the rooftops.

The release date is currently set for October 23rd for PS4 and Xbox One, with PC looking to arrive shortly after.

No doubt we will see a lot more over the next few months but in the meantime, enjoy the trailer and 9 minute walkthrough below.
