Ubisoft kicked off a surprise giveaway this week for Assassin"s Creed Syndicate, offering the ninth mainline entry in the popular action series to keep.

Released in 2015 just before the series took the RPG route, Syndicate tells the tales of twin assassins Jacob and Evie Frye. The classic stealth action gameplay was expanded upon in this entry with carriage hijacking and riding as well as a grappling hook for quickly traversing through Victorian-era London.

The Assassin"s Creed Syndicate giveaway is slated to run through December 6, with your copy being claimed via the Ubisoft Connect client.

The Yogscast Jingle Jam charity event is back with another bundle this year. The £35 price tag has remained the same as usual, and this year you get to claim over 70 PC games for this donation to charities.

Only 10,000 units of this bundle are available for purchase. Keep in mind that all codes have an expiry date and must be claimed before December 31, 2023.
