There are microtransactions in Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, but they’re “100”
Unfortunately for Xbox owners, the game will take up a significant amount of space on Xbox One hard drives. According to a report on NeoGAF, Syndicate is 40.27 GB.
It appears that in the case of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, microtransactions will be more like mini-purchases that will give players the ability to accelerate their progress for a limited time, in order to upgrade their gear quickly. While entirely optional, these microtransactions will allow players to speed up the game.
Francois Pelland had reassured fans that there won’t be a huge pay-wall for the contents in-game and that they can still access all of them. As the previous entry, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, was nearly 39.36GB digitally, it comes as no surprise that the sequel lands on the same mark.
With the launch of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate literally just around a grubby Victorian London street corner, Ubisoft have taken their near-infamous marketing tactics to new levels. Looks like Ubisoft is creating a more diverse world in its franchise.
As for Playstation 4 and PC versions of the game, nothing is confirmed as of this instant.
Every search, however, will bring up one article marked with the Assassins symbol that has to do specifically with the characters of “Assassin’s Creed Syndicate.’ There are articles about the exploits of the Templar characters and articles about the deeds of protagonist Jacob Frye”.
