Assassin’s Creed Syndicate achievement list reveals side activities, World War I simulation

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is coming and, as expected with Ubisoft games lately, it will include a ton to do. With side activities galore, there will be plenty of things to keep you distracted from the main story mission. I was wondering what those things might be, but a list of all the achievements has revealed a bunch of them, plus you can use it to prepare yourself if you’re an achievement hunter.

As always with these sorts of lists, please stop reading here if you want to avoid any/all spoilers.

Sample every beer brand? I didn’t know there were hipster craft breweries in this game. Obviously there are a ton of collectibles, but it’s interesting to see that there are Child Liberation memories, and Associates to win over as well as some Fight Clubs. If they are even as remotely fun as the Kung Fu fight clubs in Sleeping Dogs, that will be awesome.

I am rather amused by the “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU” achievement for shooting horses and the return of an achievement for killing enough enemies from within a single haystack.

But wait, what’s this? World War I simulation? Where does that come from? Is it like Unity with the weird rips in time thing, or will it be something that you can jump into as a side activity from the modern world? We haven’t heard anything about that thus far, so that’s a rather big deal.

I don’t generally go achievement hunting in these types of games – I just don’t have the patience to collect every item or do all the strange feats. That said, most of these seem pretty manageable depending on your play style.
