Assassin's Creed Syndicate preview - will it fix the problems of Unity?

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate is coming soon, continuing the now yearly cycle of games in this long-running franchise.

It would be fair to say that there’s a lot riding on Syndicate, especially in the wake of the 2014’s Assassin’s Creed Unity which was plagued with issues at launch including graphical bugs, a glut of microtransactions and intrusions from multiplayer and the companion app elements.

A year on and there’s a new game ready for launch, so how does Syndicate plan on fixing Unity’s woes?
