Watch the new Assassin's Creed announcement here

The Assassin's Creed series is getting a little leaky in its old age. Based on information spilled over the last few months, we're pretty sure the next game is called Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, that it will be set in Victorian London, and that it will feature two playable characters—a brother and sister.

To find out if that's all true, just watch the announcement livestream that's embedded below. It's due to start at 5pm BST, or 15 minutes from when this post is published. If you're coming to us from the far future, you can watch the full thing as a VOD.

While you wait, why not take a look through our suggestions of what a London-based AssCreed absolutely must and must not do?

He eventually joined full-time as a news writer, before moving to the magazine to review immersive sims, RPGs and Hitman games. Now he leads PC Gamer's UK team, but still sometimes finds the time to write about his ongoing obsessions with Destiny 2, GTA Online and Apex Legends. When he's not levelling up battle passes, he's checking out the latest tactics game or dipping back into Guild Wars 2. He's largely responsible for the whole Tub Geralt thing, but still isn't sorry.
