Instead, they played like a greatest hits collection from the main game. In fact, none of them felt phoned in or obviously weaker than the others - not even the sequence detailing Jacob’s drunken night. Each mission has multiple parts across many objectives. While the Singh plot never fully materializes into something legitimately interesting, the gameplay beats are more involved than you’d might expect. The Last Maharaja is somewhere between that. In the past, this franchise has had two types of DLC: Big spectacles with easily identifiable hooks (like Jack the Ripper or Dead Kings), or a ham-fisted collection of brief missions of no real substance. What’s intruiging is the middle ground that this particular add-on managed to settle into. Templars are out to kill him (and have some more nefarious plans too!) and the Assassins are out to keep him from being killed. The arc tells the story of Indian royalty Dunleep Singh and his strife with the British India Company. The Last Maharaja is a set of ten side missions that can be accessed early into Jacob and Evie’s London adventures. If that’s the case, it’s a perfectly fine and mostly unremarkable way to go out.Īssassin’s Creed Syndicate: The Last Maharaja (PC, PS4, Xbox One ) It’s Syndicate‘s final announced DLC pack, meaning that it’s likely the last piece of content before an extended period of Assassin’s Creed-lessness.

Yesterday’s launch of The Last Maharaja, an add-on to Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, may be the last opportunity for a quick, firm scratch. For those who have an itch for a very particular type of gameplay, it’ll go unscratched. Sure, this year still has India, Russia, Initiates, and a movie, but that Assassin’s Creed isn’t the same kind of Assassin’s Creed. With Ubisoft’s confirmation that it won’t be developing a core Assassin’s Creed game in 2016, we’re left with something of a lull.
