Oy bruv, you fancy microtransactions?
Ubisoft has announced, that like Unity, the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will sport microtransactions, which can be used to “save time and accelerate progress.” Director Francois Pelland also noted, “Rest assured, all of Syndicate’s content is available without paying anything additional and the game has been balanced such that microtransactions are 100% optional.”
Although I hate the fact that they’re there (in a $60 game nonetheless), I don’t think the sky is falling. I was able to complete Unity without them, and never felt like they were necessary. Hopefully that will be the case here.
