Prima Games released a collector’s edition strategy guide for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and details from its product listing revealed the physical and digital extras bundled with the book. The guide was published to coincide with the game’s console launch, offering players a comprehensive companion for navigating Victorian London.
Collector’s Edition Bonuses
The premium version of the guide came in a hardcover format and contained over 300 pages. Exclusive to this edition was a dedicated art section, showcasing concept and production artwork from the game. The package also included several physical collectibles for fans. A key item was a double-sided poster featuring a detailed map of Victorian London, an essential tool for an open-world title. Also included were a set of wall clings depicting London’s skyline and various Assassin poses, allowing for some themed room decoration.
Beyond the physical items, the collector’s guide provided a code for an exclusive in-game DLC weapon: the Angel Knuckles. This weapon was described as allowing players to attack enemies from above, adding a unique tool to the arsenals of protagonists Jacob and Evie Frye. Bundling exclusive digital content with physical strategy guides was a common practice to incentivize purchasing the premium version over the standard edition or digital-only alternatives.
Guide Contents and Release
As a comprehensive strategy guide, the book was designed to be an exhaustive resource. Its contents would typically cover a full walkthrough of the main story missions, along with detailed strategies for completing every side quest and optional activity. For a game like Syndicate, this included guidance on conquering boroughs, participating in fight clubs, and locating all the hidden collectibles scattered across the city. Maps and descriptions would help players find every Helix Glitch, chest, and historical secret.
The guide would also break down the game’s core mechanics, including the distinct skill trees for Jacob and Evie, and provide statistics for all available weapons and gear. It offered tactical advice for the game’s combat and stealth systems, as well as the new rope launcher mechanic that allowed for greater mobility.
