You Can Bust Crime With Darwin And Dickens If You Pre-Order ‘Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’

Video games holding cool, fan-favorite characters back as pre-order bonuses is not a new phenomenon, but the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is taking a unique, appropriately historical approach to pre-order exclusive characters. Yes, Ubisoft has revealed that those who put down their five bucks for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will get exclusive access to missions featuring Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens.

The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy (it really should have been called “Charleses in Charge”) features Assassin’s Creed Syndicate protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye teaming up Darwin and Dickens to stop the release of toxic gas on Victorian London, and cause a lot of explosions. I assume you’ll also somehow inspire Darwin’s Theory of Evolution and visit Dickens several times during Christmas Eve. Hopefully this isn’t the last of the wacky Victorian-era team ups. I want Lewis Carroll and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle trying to solve mysteries while under the influence of copious amounts of opium. Let’s have Florence Nightingale and Queen Victoria herself team up for some Girl Power ass kicking. Why not?

The Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy is available for those who pre-order Syndicate, or anybody who grabs one the game’s four different special editions (oh, Ubisoft). Assassin’s Creed Syndicate hits current-gen consoles and PC on October 23.
