Ubisoft announced today that Assassin's Creed Syndicate will get a Jack The Ripper DLC. This isn't exactly surprising, given that the game takes place in London near that time period.
Here's some additional information provided by Ubisoft about this Jack The Ripper DLC:
The Jack The Ripper campaign takes place 20 years after the events of Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, and tells the story of the world’s most infamous serial killer.
Set during the Autumn of Terror in Whitechapel, 1888, a killer’s abominable acts of murder and mutilation terrorise London, creating widespread panic and worldwide media attention. Players will join forces with Inspector Frederick Abberline of Scotland Yard, to hunt down Jack The Ripper in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the infamous serial killer.
This DLC can either be purchased separately or as part of the Season Pass, which includes the following content:
