The Assassin's Legendary Hidden Blade and Gauntlet Edition includes a "functional hidden blade," while the Cane Sword Edition features a "fully detailed sword and a button triggered spring-loaded scythe blade."

Finally, the Collector's Edition will have the season pass, Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy Mission, a Jacob figurine, a poster of London, an artbook, and the official soundrack.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate is set in London at the height of the industrial revolution and stars a brother and sister duo as its central protagonists.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate's overhauls the combat and stealth in the game to be less oriented around hiding behind cover. Instead it will give players the ability to more physical-based evasion and sneaking moves such as crawling.

Another of the game's big new additions is the ability to jack vehicles. Players will be able to drive carriages and use them as moving platforms. Read our full story to find out more about Assassin's Creed Syndicate's GTA-style vehicle mechanics.
