Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate – A Possible Revival
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate may not hold the same legendary status as some other titles in the series, such as Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag or Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey. However, a potential upgrade could rekindle interest among its devoted Xbox fans. While the franchise spans a wide spectrum, from the nostalgia of its classic titles to the RPG-like modern iterations, Syndicate finds itself somewhat awkwardly positioned in between. Despite having its own loyal following, it hasn’t achieved the same acclaim as other entries in the series.
Potential 60fps Upgrade
According to Aroged, Ubisoft might be contemplating the release of a 60fps upgrade patch for Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate. This speculation stems from a now-deleted post on X by Ubisoft Latam, suggesting that the company is gauging community interest in such an update, particularly focusing on the 60fps enhancement. Ubisoft has a precedent for enhancing older Assassin’s Creed games; following the launch of the Xbox Series X|S, they rolled out similar upgrades for Assassin’s Creed: Origins and Odyssey.
Why Do People Love AC: Syndicate?
The Setting Was A Major Win
Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate emerged at a time when fans were becoming fatigued with the franchise’s formula. Despite this, the 2015 installment managed to capture the interest of many players, largely due to its captivating setting. Set in London in 1868, a period bursting with technological and cultural advancements, the game offered players an engaging playground filled with inventive gameplay mechanics.
The protagonists, Evie and Jacob Frye, were warmly embraced by fans for their charm and the challenging circumstances they found themselves in. Although Evie’s narrative arc could have used more focus, the ability to switch between the two characters and explore distinct play styles provided a refreshing change. Additionally, the Jack the Ripper DLC is widely regarded as one of the franchise’s finest expansions.
Anticipation for the Upgrade
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is The Best (& Worst) of the Series
The possibility of a 60fps upgrade for Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, as hinted at by the deleted tweet, is an exciting prospect. Such an update could not only entice diehard fans to revisit the game but also attract a broader audience who may have previously overlooked it. While Syndicate is not without its flaws, it remains a remarkable open-world experience deserving of renewed attention.
