Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which "comes pretty blooming close to its maximum potential," is on PC as of today, November 19. I never found an explanation as to why the PC's launch trailed the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One's by a month, but that was always the plan on Ubisoft's end.
People are saying that Syndicate is a return to form for the series. Some high-scoring accolades attest to that in this PC launch trailer. If you never caught onto the high-seas antics of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, first of all: What's wrong with you? But, second of all, Syndicate may indeed be that land lubbin', zip-line-throwing, carriage-chasing return to form you were waiting for. I like the face-slapping hard rock track, too, though Google is failing me when I try searching for the song by lyrics.
Again, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is out today, November 19, on PC, and has been out on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One since October 23.
