With the military organization Albion ruling over the city with an iron fist, the common people must rise up in rebellion. Players can recruit any character, which can affect how they approach each infiltration and mission, thanks to distinct skills. The open world of London is also ripe for exploration both on foot or in vehicles. Hacking is also a core aspect, with co-op missions being the feature's highlight.
