The next stop in the AC saga takes us to London during the industrial revolution. The map is said to be close to 30 times bigger than the Unity map. And for the first time ever, you get two playable characters to switch freely between during the games freeplay mode, story missions will still be locked to certain characters but I assume that you switch in between the two like in GTA V.
AC is a franchise with some flaws, but it is still my favorite gaming fanchise right now. I'm hyped.
