This is all from the press release:
The Assassin’s Creed Experience
The Assassin’s Creed Experience returns to San Diego Comic-Con for its second year with bigger and more challenging obstacles that will have players parkouring and soaring through Victorian-era London. Course attendees will receive instantly shareable action shots of them tackling two of the course’s obstacles, the overhead glider, new to this year’s course, and the iconic 25-foot Leap of Faith. Additionally, fans who pre-order the game will receive The Rooks Initiation Kit, which includes everything they need to join Jacob and Evie Frye’s gang on their quest to liberate London.
For those looking to further immerse themselves in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed is teaming up with Schick Hydro for the third year in a row. At the Schick Hydro Underground, located next to the course, fans can receive a free, customized shave by professional barbers using Schick Hydro 5, the only razor with a specially designed gel reservoir to help #ProtectYourNeck.
