You all know that one of main features of Assassin's Creed: Syndicate is that it enables the player to freely switch between two different protagonists. You probably also know that the game is set at the tail end of the Industrial Revolution in London.

But were you aware that Assassin's Creed: Syndicate has a third playable character?

Warning: Gameplay spoilers up ahead!

Ubisoft has always kept mum on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate gameplay, until now.

A Europe-based independent gaming website has released the abovementioned information in a video.

The video begins around 10-12 hours into the Assassin's Creed: Syndicate campaign set in World War I. The game stars Lydia Frye, a female assassin and granddaughter and grand-niece to Jacob and Evie Frye. Lydia has full access to the skill tree as she is trained in the Assassin ways.

Apart from this secret assassin, another surprise, albeit a rather familiar one, is in store for the player. Sir Winston Churchill makes an appearance to hand out a mission for Lydia, and attempts to convince her to join the British Secret Service.

As if that isn't enough surprises for one game, Ubisoft pulls another trick up its sleeve by announcing that Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will feature double the amount of patches.

"We actually have two patches that will be available on Day 1. The first patch (titled 1.10) will be 541MB, the second (titled 1.11) will be 534MB. Not sure where 18GB came from... neither of the patches you will need to download are anywhere near that big," stated Ubisoft community developer Gabe Graziani. He also addressed the subreddit claim about an 18GB patch for the game.

Assassin's Creed: Syndicate was released on Oct. 23 for PS4 and Xbox One. The PS4 version includes "Penny Dreadful Crimes," an exclusive DLC. Meanwhile, the Microsoft Windows version is set to be released on Nov. 19.
