Given how heavily Assassin's Creed Syndicate focuses on top-hatted ne'er-do-wells using sharp objects in Victorian alleys, it seems inevitable that the era's most notorious serial killer would join the fun sooner or later – and now he has. Set 20 years after the events of Assassin's Creed Syndicate, the just-announced Jack the Ripper DLC campaign will hurl you into the midst of the Whitechapel murders, giving you a chance to investigate and hunt down the killer alongside Scotland Yard's Inspector Frederick Abberline.

The Jack the Ripper add-on will be available separately or as part of the Season Pass, which also includes six other DLC offerings. The Last Maharaja mission pack revolves around Duleep Singh, exiled ruler of the Sikh Empire, as he battles the Templars in an attempt to reclaim his birthright. A Long Night adds a mission that tasks Jacob with rescuing a fellow gang member, while Streets of London promises new missions, gear, outfits and weapons that add up to more than an hour of extra gameplay. Also adding new gear, weapons and outfits are the Steampunk Pack and the Victorian Legends Pack, and as a special bonus, Season Pass holders get an exclusive, permanent XP boost.
More details on the Season Pass offerings will be revealed soon. For now, Assassin's Creed Syndicate will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One on October 23 and PC on November 19, and you can pre-order for guaranteed access to the Darwin and Dickens Conspiracy mission.
