The new "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" video game transports you to 1860s London, journeying through the deadly rivalry between the Assassins and the Templars, according to CNN.
Game developer Ubisoft lets people role play as either the deadly smart Evie Frye or her confrontational twin brother Jacob, Yahoo! News reported. The lethal Frye twins have the power to assemble gangs to oust The Templars, their arch-nemesis assassins ruling London.
The historically accurate game is set in Victorian London in 1868 during the Industrial Revolution, CNN noted.
Jean-Vincent Roy, in-house historian for Ubisoft said the game teaches players about the history of Victorian England.
"The game is super fun and a very cool way to discover the period," Roy said. "If by ... having a blast running and driving and touring around London at that time, anyone who picks a book and wants to learn more about the period, from my own perspective as a historian, it is a win."
"Assassin's Dreed Syndicate" was released on Friday, Oct. 23 on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 video game consoles. It was priced at $60, noted Yahoo News. On Nov. 19 the game will come to PCs.
