Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, the final chapter of the series before Ubisoft transitioned to the more expansive RPG format, is set to receive some well-deserved attention. Starting tomorrow, players can enjoy the game with a 60 FPS mode on both the PS5 and PS5 Pro.
This update is certainly a treat for Syndicate enthusiasts, although the reveal wasn’t without its hiccups. A tweet from one of Ubisoft’s international accounts leaked the update details ahead of schedule, letting the cat out of the bag.
Syndicate first launched on PS4 and Xbox One back in 2015, featuring a dynamic sibling duo who shared the spotlight in alternating missions. While it may not be the most renowned installment of the series, these two protagonists left a lasting impression on fans who hold the Assassin’s Creed saga dear.
For those nostalgic about this chapter, it’s great news that they’ll now have the chance to explore Ubisoft’s rendition of Victorian London in the smooth frame rates and high resolutions that today’s consoles can effortlessly handle.
Both PS5 and PS5 Pro users will be able to run Syndicate at 4K/60FPS from tomorrow onward. It’s intriguing to ponder which other classic Ubisoft titles might receive similar upgrades, and which might head for a complete remake instead.
When CEO Yves Guillemot let slip the prospect of remakes, the expectation was that Ubisoft might kick things off with the original game. However, there’s always the possibility, similar to what happened with Silent Hill 2, that they might start with Assassin’s Creed II for the remake treatment.
No matter the specifics, we’ll likely be waiting for some time to find out which direction Ubisoft plans to take. This all may hinge on possible changes in leadership that could introduce a fresh lineup of releases down the road.
