Assassin's Creed: Syndicate to get collectible replica weapons and novel

Never has it been easier to poke someone's eye out while looking like a stylish gentleman about town. Ubisoft has announced books and collectibles for the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, including figurines and life-size replica weapons.

As well as an official art book, there will also be a new novel. The story will take place in " 1862, and with London in the grip of the Industrial Revolution, the world’s first underground railway is under construction. When a body is discovered at the dig, it sparks the beginning of the latest deadly chapter in the centuries-old battle between the Assassins and Templars."

"Deep undercover is an Assassin with dark secrets and a mission to defeat the Templar stranglehold on the nation’s capital. Soon the Brotherhood will know him as Henry Green, mentor to Jacob and Evie Frye. For now, he is simply The Ghost."

The new collectibles will include life-size replicas of Jacob's guantlet and cane sword, and two figurines - one of Jacob (33cm tall) and one of Eve (22cm tall).

The collectibles have a limited run, so if you want to snap them up, pop over to Ubisoft store.
