Officially announced earlier today, the latest installment of the AC franchise will be released to next gen consoles at the end of October this year.
Twins Jacob and Evie Frye anchor the story, the brother and sister equally branded as “brash and rebellious” and a “master of stealth”, in reference to the latter sibling. Free roaming mode allows you to switch characters at your distrection but certain elements of the story will restrict you to playing either or.
