Really? All the game is set in 1868? That's strange. I would rather see the game span trough longer period,well into 1870s and 1880s.

But it makes sense. There was so much stuff invented in 70s and 80s. To a point that it would change the classical AC gameplay. I feared before Syndicate was announced, that Ubisoft won't be able the make game in so little time that has such a differnt time period than the previous ones. That's my speculation.

I hope the game won't be any shorter because of that. Is it just me or the AC games are becoming shorter and shorter when it comes to the main story? They also need to make it longer because of 2 playable characters.
