All the best Assassin\u2019s Creed games are about family. <\/p>\n

The Ezio trilogy, long considered the peak of the series, is built on the tragic loss of Ezio\u2019s family, and his fundamental loneliness. The game\u2019s most iconic song \u2014 the one whose motif is colloquially known as \u201cthe Assassin\u2019s Creed theme\u201d \u2014 is titled \u201cEzio\u2019s Family.\u201d Assassin\u2019s Creed Origins<\/em> is the story of parents seeking vengeance after the death of their son. Likewise, the protagonist of Odyssey<\/em> comes from a broken family: Alexios or Kassandra grows up orphaned after being literally dropped off a mountain by their father, who chooses loyalty to Sparta over protecting his children.<\/p>\n

The latest game in the series, Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>, also revolves around family. Early on it takes the player through a long sequence where we see young ninja Naoe\u2019s family life before \u2014 as always happens in this series \u2014 her world is upended by violence.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not far enough into the game to see where Naoe\u2019s story will (presumably!) intersect with the game\u2019s second protagonist, Yasuke. The two start the narrative on opposite sides of Lord Oda Nobunaga\u2019s warpath through 16th-century Japan, and they share equal real estate in the game\u2019s marketing materials. But starting Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em> reminded me of the first time that Ubisoft anchored an Assassin\u2019s Creed game with dual protagonists \u2014 and how much I loved it.<\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed Syndicate<\/em> may have largely followed the franchise blueprint, but it did some things differently where it counted. I\u2019m happy to call it my favorite game in the series. Here at Polygon it reviewed well<\/a>, and Metacritic agrees<\/a>. But its success was never guaranteed, and looking back on it now, I still think it\u2019s kind of miraculous.<\/p>\n

Syndicate\u2019s bad timing<\/h2>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed Syndicate<\/em> introduced the player to twin Assassins Jacob and Evie Frye. They\u2019re young and opinionated, ready to make the leap from the boonies to bustling Victorian London.<\/p>\n

It was the first time that Assassin\u2019s Creed would have dual protagonists, and the first time a mainline Assassin\u2019s Creed game would be co-headlined by a female character. <\/p>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed 3<\/em> and its spinoffs had toyed with both of these concepts in limited ways. Assassin\u2019s Creed 3<\/em> featured a prologue where the player inhabited Haytham Kenway, before swapping to his son Connor for the rest of the game. And the spinoff Assassin\u2019s Creed 3: Liberation<\/em> is anchored by the slave-liberating Assassin Aveline de Grandpr\u00e9 \u2014 a genuinely cool, bold move even if the game was destined for the low-selling PlayStation Vita.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was the right moment for Ubisoft to shake things up in a main series game, and also the worst. Syndicate<\/em> came out in 2015, and it splash-landed right in the middle of a poisonous debate around playable female characters and the Gamergate harassment campaign.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the time, Ubisoft was still putting out an Assassin\u2019s Creed game basically every year. Although Syndicate<\/em> would have been in development for years, it directly followed the much-maligned Assassin\u2019s Creed Unity<\/em><\/a>. Unity <\/em>had a rough launch from a technical perspective<\/a>, but also got blowback when a developer told Polygon<\/a> that a female character model was cut from the co-op mode, because of the additional work that creating it would entail.<\/p>\n

In short, a lot of people were mad in a lot of different directions, and the pressure on Syndicate <\/em>to do better<\/em> was high.<\/p>\n

Ubisoft also had to contend with a question that fewer and fewer people are asking these days: What about the lore? In previous games, the Animus that the Assassins use to relive history required a genetic link between the modern-day protagonist and their historical counterpart. By the time Unity<\/em> rolled around, it was clear that this concept was holding the series back. Fortunately, it was pretty easy to ditch it: The tech gets better! Later versions of the Animus are advanced enough to simulate history just using the historical character\u2019s DNA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But in 2014 and 2015, players were still catching up with the new normal. The question of where and whether Arno Dorian, the protagonist of Unity<\/em>, fit into Desmond Miles\u2019 sprawling family tree was floated by fans on Reddit<\/a> before that game\u2019s release. The fact that Syndicate<\/em>\u2019s Jacob and Evie are twins seems to gesture at this concern, too. Dual protagonists were possible \u2014 because their DNA was so similar. The lore could remain intact, and the historical timeline undisturbed. <\/p>\n

(Science-heads, don\u2019t bother trying to explain whether or not this justification actually makes sense \u2014 it truly doesn\u2019t matter.) <\/p>\n

Obviously, later games would hand-wave even more of the science. In Assassin\u2019s Creed Odyssey<\/em>, the player can decide for themself whether Kassandra or Alexios is the mercenary that faces off against the Cult of Kosmos. Historical record be damned!\u00a0<\/p>\n

But Syndicate<\/em> had a smaller sandbox to play in. And in that sandbox, it made some magic.<\/p>\n

A tale of two twins<\/h2>\n

Assassin\u2019s Creed Syndicate<\/em> pioneered the model that Shadows<\/em> now follows: two protagonists with different play styles and radically different personalities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Jacob Frye is brash and bold \u2014 the kind of Assassin who runs into the burning orphanage without thinking ahead. He\u2019s a brawler, and brass knuckles are his weapon of choice. Evie is a planner, and like Naoe, she is stealth incarnate. Her footsteps are lighter, and she carries a cane sword.<\/p>\n

As in Shadows<\/em>, Jacob and Evie are both introduced in gameplay missions upfront. But whereas Shadows<\/em> then hides Yasuke behind hours of story progression, Syndicate<\/em> immediately lets the player swap between Jacob and Evie in the open world of Victorian London.<\/p>\n

Each character has their own story missions, however, and it\u2019s here that Syndicate<\/em>\u2019s narrower scope is really in its favor.<\/p>\n

The twins have very different priorities. Evie is working with fellow Assassin Henry Green to find a Piece of Eden, a valuable artifact that must be kept from the Templars. Meanwhile, Jacob finds it more productive to simply assassinate the powerful Templars controlling the city.<\/p>\n

The twins\u2019 warring prerogatives bring them into conflict. In one mission, Jacob assassinates the governor of the Bank of England \u2014 a Templar who also made a habit of robbing<\/em> the Bank of England. For Jacob, the solution is simple! See Templar, kill Templar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unfortunately this sends England spiraling toward a financial crisis.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s here that Evie has to step in, in a mission where the player recovers stolen currency printing plates.\u00a0In this way, the two narratives are constantly counterbalancing each other. The player gets to wreak chaos as Jacob, but then see how his careless actions ripple out into the world, and make amends. It makes London feel like it\u2019s really being shaped and driven by the twins\u2019 (and the player\u2019s) efforts.<\/p>\n

Evie is frustrated by Jacob\u2019s move fast and break things<\/em> approach, and Jacob feels like Evie is wasting her time chasing McGuffins. They cross each other, clean up each other\u2019s messes, and get on each other\u2019s nerves \u2014 as siblings do.<\/p>\n

And when inevitably Jacob\u2019s and Evie\u2019s goals are unified, it\u2019s all the more satisfying.<\/p>\n

All in the family<\/h2>\n

Like the rest of Assassin\u2019s Creed\u2019s orphaned and tormented heroes, Jacob and Evie have parental baggage. Their story begins shortly after their father, the Assassin who trained them, dies. It\u2019s not a dramatic death and there\u2019s no one to blame, except maybe Victorian environmental standards: Ethan Frye dies of pleurisy, a painful lung disease. <\/p>\n

The game begins when these two young, ambitious Assassins are set loose on the world for the first time. They\u2019re discovering who they are without the guiding \u2014 and often critical \u2014 hand of their father.<\/p>\n

The twins\u2019 relationship with Ethan underlines all of their conflicts. Evie has always been the golden child who excelled under Ethan\u2019s tutelage and took his philosophy to heart. Jacob chafed at the restrictions and wants to do things his own way.<\/p>\n

But then, something very special happens. <\/p>\n

[Ed. note: <\/strong>This rest of this story contains spoilers for the ending of Assassin\u2019s Creed Syndicate <\/em>and the Jack the Ripper<\/em> DLC.]<\/p>\n

Unlike so many Assassin\u2019s Creed games that came before it, Syndicate<\/em> is a happy story. <\/p>\n

Jacob and Evie grow through their differences and learn to work together. Evie and Henry Green fall in love. They all get knighted by Queen Victoria. And everybody lives! Instead of descending into maudlin tragedy, Syndicate<\/em> is about learning to love and live with the family that you have \u2014 even if you don\u2019t always agree with them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s sweet, funny, and refreshing. <\/p>\n

Shortly after Syndicate<\/em> came out, Ubisoft released the Jack the Ripper<\/em> DLC. In the weeks leading up to it, I remember existing in a vague miasma of anxiety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jack the Ripper<\/em> is a much darker story. It takes place decades after Syndicate<\/em>, and the story primarily follows Evie Frye, who has returned to London because Jacob is missing and Jack the Ripper is going on his legendary killing spree. Before release, Ubisoft announced that in some sequences, the player would play as the Ripper himself.<\/p>\n

Knowing that the dual protagonists of the DLC were Evie and Jack, rather than Evie and Jacob, led some players to theorize that Jack was actually<\/em> Jacob. It didn\u2019t seem all that likely, but even considering it made me sick. I couldn\u2019t stand the idea that Jacob Frye might be the historical butcherer of women. To me, it would have been the ultimate betrayal of the character, and the story that Syndicate<\/em> had told.<\/p>\n

But I didn\u2019t need to worry.<\/p>\n

Jack the Ripper<\/em> ends with the serial killer dead, and the twins reunited. Jacob is wounded \u2014 both physically and psychologically \u2014 by his experience. But as the siblings embrace, the DLC fulfills the promise that Syndicate<\/em> made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This story is about family. Assassin\u2019s Creed games always are, but Syndicate<\/em> still did it the best. <\/p>\n
