Though we've been seeing reports of "Victory" being the next AC title, we've now learned that it was just a codename or a placeholder for Syndicate. Polygon broke this news this week, stating that the playable main character this time around is named Jacob Frye. The website sources promotional materials for this news, but the official announcement will still come from Ubisoft this week, so at least we can confirm the news!

In fact, the official website for this game has yet to change over to show the new title, but it still looks pretty cool. You can check it out right here!

While we wait for the official reveal, we still have this fun little teaser clip to enjoy:

We'll have concrete answers tomorrow, but for now we're pretty excited about this leaked information. Do you think the title "Syndicate" more than the placeholder, "Victory?"
