According to Ubisoft, in the open world area players will be able to switch characters with a simple press of one button (in the start menu). Moreover, players will be able to fully customize both Jacob and Evie.

In addition, side missions and side activities can be done by either Jacob or Evie. The only difference between them will be their skills but apart from that, all side missions will be available to both of them.
