Track Down a Serial Killer Next Week in ‘Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s’ First DLC

Published

You can’t tell a story set in 19th century London without including the infamous serial killer who made the city a very scary place to live, particularly for alleyway-dwelling prostitutes.

Jack the Ripper has become so much more than the middling mass murderer he once was. He’s more symbolic now, similar to Batman, only on the other end of the spectrum. And like Batman, he’s only human. That’s why I’m very much looking forward to hunting that dickhead down next week in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. I’m going to stab him right in the eye. Then I’ll say something heroic, like “You’re gonna need to get used to wearing an eye patch, bro.”

The DLC is set 20 years after the events in Syndicate in a city that’s been gripped by fear, forcing Evie Frye — the objectively superior assasstwin — to visit the “dark underworld of Victorian London’s Whitechapel district” in order to track him down.

The Jack the Ripper expansion arrives on Dec 15 for PS4 and Xbox One, followed by PC on Dec 22. It’s included in the game’s $29.99 season pass, but you can also purchase it individually for $14.99.

Here’s a rundown of what else is included in the season pass, courtesy of the Ubiblog.

The Last Maharaja mission pack – Join Duleep Singh in 10 new missions as he fights to reclaim his heritage and take his rightful place as the Maharaja.

A Long Night mission – As Jacob, track down a fellow gang member and bring him back to the hideout in this wild (and dangerous) ride.

Streets of London gameplay pack – Get over an hour of extra content with brand-new missions, plus new weapons, gear and outfits.

Two top-tier sets of gear and weapons – Gain access to the Steampunk Pack and the Victorian Legends Pack to spice up your wardrobe and gear.

Exclusive XP boost – Season Pass holders will receive a permanent XP boost.

AreYouWatching.com: ‘The Watchers’ Interactive Website Is Full of Creepy Easter Eggs

Published

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
