IGN hosted a Q&A with Ubisoft Quebec, where it was revealed that "Assassin's Creed Syndicate" will feature microtransactions.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate will include paid options to save time and accelerate progress. The model for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is quite similar to Black Flag, allowing players who do not have time to fully explore our huge game world to still be able to eventually acquire the game’s most powerful gear as well as other items. Rest assured, all of AC Syndicate’s content is available without paying anything additional and the game has been balanced such that microtransactions are 100% optional.

"Assassin's Creed Syndicate" will release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on October 23, while the PC version will release on November 19.
