The Order: 1886 takes players to an alternate Victorian London, when the height of the centuries long battle between humans and half-breeds take place. Half-breeds are transformed humans, taking on bestial traits and strength and are known to attack or devour humans. These monsters appeared in the early centuries and from there on, the war between the two races escalated. Even with superior numbers, the humans find themselves in the losing end of the battle as the more physically powerful half-breeds continue to overpower them.
