Assassin's Creed Syndicate is being promised by Ubisoft to become a better game compared to its original release, Unity. The game publisher has developed the impression as one that postpones the release date of a title then and again, when it was already scheduled beforehand.

Through its attempt to become prompt with the original version of the said title, it ended up backfiring with a lot of bugs and complaints from gamers. With the improvements to come, particularly for the PC version, and new features such as adding more female characters in the gameplay, fans will be able to expect a greater sense of satisfaction.

When Ubisoft broke the routine of delaying the launch of their titles with Assassin's Creed: Unity, the consequence was several problems in gameplay from the start. It took a while before the needed patch to stabilize the game was delivered.

In a recent report from PC Gamer, Marc-Alexis Cote, the creative director of the game announced in the E3, "We've got an internal team that's dedicated to the PC version, and one of the things that I'm happy about is that we're really taking our time with the PC version to really make it shine."

Cote is very much aware of what happened with the previous release and adds, "We want the game to really work well on the PC on day one, which is why it's not the same launch as the Xbox One and the PS4 versions." As he mentions, the computer version will likely arrive in the fall season.

In another report which tried out the demo for Assassin's Creed Syndicate during the E3 2015 event, it was noted that females are making an increased appearance in the game. More interestingly, there are female thugs who even get into gang wars. This was taken as a sign that the publisher is really listening to fan feedback, in addition to the fact that the gameplay felt smoother.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate has been slated for release on October 23 for the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One. The PC version will come at a later time, albeit before 2015, in order for Ubisoft to really perfect the game and let it shine.
