Assassin's Creed Syndicate gets PS5 Pro, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S enhancements

Blimey guvnor! Ubisoft has only gone and slapped a shiny ol' update onAssassin's Creed Syndicate, that game set in Victorian London.

Ahem. First released in 2015, it's something of a surprise to see Syndicate get an update now. But as Assassin's Creed fans are now waiting until February for the upcoming Japan-set Shadows, it's perhaps a good time to give this enjoyable romp a revisit.

Last night, Ubisoft issued a patch that added 60FPS support on Xbox Series X and S, as well as on PlayStation 5 and the newly-launchedPS5 Pro.

Details of the update assharedby Ubisoft lie below.

Xbox (~31.8 GB)

PlayStation (~0.75 GB)

Nearly a decade on, Syndicate feels a little overlooked in the Assassin's Creed canon, which is a shame. Its release came at a difficult time for the Assassin's Creed franchise overall - a year afterthe disaster that was Unity, and while work to softly reboot the series with Origins had already begun.

But Syndicate has some great moments, the Frye Twins' co-protagonist mechanic works well, and it hosts a beautiful rendition of London (Big Ben! Leaping between boats on the Thames! A moving steam train hideout!).

If you're yet to give it a go, it's a refreshing change from the hardboiled history ofAssassin's Creed 3or the melodrama of Unity. It's also the first time Ubisoft Quebec (the studio behind the upcoming Shadows, as well as the Ancient Greek-setAssassin's Creed Odyssey) got to spearhead a full game for itself.

"Syndicate moves Assassin's Creed forward with a solid new adventure, a beautiful London playground and a renewed sense of fun," I wrote inEurogamer's Assassin's Creed Syndicate review. Cor!
