Assassin's Creed: Syndicate Will Have Micro-Transactions

Last year, Assassin's Creed Unity had a pretty prominent option to pay for goods in the game. There were some chests that, more or less, wanted you to cough up some extra cash so you could buy new gear.

It seems, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate will be doing the same thing. In a QandA on IGN, a fan asked if the micro-transactions would be back. Senior Producer Francois Pelland confirmed they would be, saying:

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.

Any form of micro-transactions in a full priced game is always going to be controversial and turn people off. For me, it really does matter how "100% optional" it is. It isn't going to make or break the game for me (most likely anyways), but it does leave a bad taste in the mouth no doubt.
