With Assassin's Creed Syndicate due on consoles on Friday, Ubisoft offers this Assassin's Creed Syndicate FAQ and Guide as a hub to a number of previously released guides for the new installment in the stealthy action series. This also includes a new spoiler-laden article on how "the present-day story so far" fits together across the series. Word is: "Every Assassin’s Creed game tells two intertwining stories. One is of an Assassin and their adventures in the past, and the other is of a person in the present who’s experiencing that Assassin’s “genetic memories” through a device known as the Animus, or more recently as Helix. While the historical Assassins inhabit mostly self-contained stories that link together across centuries, the present-day storyline has continued in a more or less linear fashion since the series began."
