"Assassin's Creed Syndicate" is finally out in the market and reports have stated that Ubisoft has hired a London historian to make the latest video game more accurate and exciting.
The historian and author Judith Flanders is one of the major consultants of the latest video game. As a historian, Flanders admitted that she has never played a video game which made her very surprised as the game developer of the Assassin's Creed franchise invited her to be their consultant.
As an author, Flanders focused her novels and books on the Victorian period, giving the gaming enthusiasts a hint on why Ubisoft chose her over the others. The "Assasins' Creed Syndicate" is said to have its main setting in a 19th century London and in the midst of Industrial Revolution.
In a statement, Flanders expressed her excitement concerning the new project she dealt with.
"It's like you're an expert on a faraway place. You've learned the language. You've met people from there. You've read every single book that was ever written. Now, you're invited to go there," she said.
"That was the exciting thing about this project for me. It was like going to that foreign place that I've been reading about for 20 years," stated by the author of "Victorian City" and "The Invention of Murder"," Flanders added.
The historian's major task in the project is answering questions concerning the history of London and other places. Several questions asked include the ratio of men and women in the streets, the age when children start to labor, and even what specific hour of the day did the bell of St. Paul Cathedral ring.
With these kind of preparations, it can't be denied that Ubisoft is striving to bring the AC sequel to life. However, several reviews showed that some critics were still not satisfied. Some say that the videogame improved a lot in animation and story line while others stated that the sequel failed to impress die hard AC enthusiasts.
