Setup
A narrator explains that London had two decades of peace after the Assassins beat the Templars, until the Autumn of Terror. Jacob is hunting the killer and pressing newspaper owner Arthur Weaversbrook to stop printing the Ripper's letters. Weeks later Evie arrives from India and Abberline tells her she may be the last Assassin left in London.
Fear tools
Evie finds tools from the Indian Brotherhood in Jacob's lodgings. Fear bombs give off a scream and a hallucinogenic cloud that sends even tough enemies running. Spikes pin a target to the ground, where their screaming spreads panic to anyone nearby. Evie uses them to frighten rather than kill, and many full sync objectives ask you to frighten a number of enemies.
Playing as Jack
Three memories switch you to the Ripper. He tracks with Eagle Vision, uses the same fear tools brutally, and his sections are about chasing, terrifying and removing anyone who could expose him.
The story's route
Evie follows Jacob's clues to Nellie, kills Jack's lieutenant Lady Owers, rescues Weaversbrook's son, shuts down a hostage operation in Deptford, revisits the murder sites in Whitechapel and ends at Lambeth Asylum.
Who the Ripper isSpoilerShow
Jack was a boy Jacob rescued from Lambeth Asylum after Templars killed his mother, and later an Assassin initiate trained by Jacob in India. He turned on the Brotherhood, and the women he murdered in Whitechapel were Assassin initiates posing as the real victims to trap him.
EndingSpoilerShow
Evie kills Jack beneath Lambeth Asylum and finds Jacob alive in a cell. She asks Abberline to keep secret that the Ripper was an Assassin, and he agrees.
