Assassin's Creed Syndicate incorporates technology into its gameplay and story more than any other game in the series. Its setting in Victorian London represents the culmination of a remarkable period of British history known as the Age of Invention. Or does it? Did the Age really end, and are we still living in it? To help Matt Lewis get to grips with the vast and fascinating Age of Invention, he's joined by Dr Anton Howes, author of the Age of Invention blog.

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India puts players in the heart of the Sikh Empire in 1841, at a time when only the Sikh Empire remained unconquered by the British. Perhaps inevitably, this decade witnessed the bloody Anglo-Sikh Wars. These conflicts would ultimately determine the fate of British power in India, and by extension, the power of Britain worldwide for the next century. To shed light on these complex events, Matt is joined by historian, author and Director of the Sikh Museum Initiative, Gurinder Singh Mann.
