Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate has had a somewhat large patch today that brings a load of fixes and tweaks to the game and its respective world. It’s a really meaty update and there’s plenty being fiddled with by the developers. So much so, you’d look at the patch notes and swear the game is broken for such a large update to be pushed out. Thankfully that’s not the case. In fact, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate runs bloody damn well and easily out-performs its predecessor. (Read our review here.)
Still, it’s nice to see that Ubisoft is taking the extra time and effort to keep Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate updated and we must applaud them for doing so. Well done guys, we appreciate it.
The update brings fixed to just about every aspect of the game, so give the patch notes a look over down below.
