Ezio, my friend! How may I be of service?

This article is in desperate need of a revamp. Please improve it in any way necessary in order for it to achieve a higher standard of quality in accordance with our Manual of Style.

Assassin's Creed: Rogue is an upcoming 2014 sandbox action adventure game. Rogue follows the story of the Templar Shay Cormac between 1752 and 1761, and is the final chapter in the Kenway saga.^[1] The game will be released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 11 November 2014.^[2]

Development

Assassin's Creed Rogue is being developed by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft's Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios.^[3] The game was written by Richard Farrese.^[1]

Gameplay

Shay's weaponry includes an air rifle equipped with distractionary bullets and grenades. He is captain of the Morrigan, which is armed with burning oil and a puckle gun.

The primary locations in the game are New York, the River Valley and the North Atlantic Ocean. The North Atlantic is an icy water-based region, where icebergs can be used as cover during naval combat, as well as broken to reveal frozen cargo and Animus data fragments. With the help of an ice-breaker ram, navigation is supplemented and additional secret areas can be reached. Meanwhile, the River Valley is a hybrid of land-based and naval gameplay, with seamless river navigation integrated into a map reminiscent of the Frontier from Assassin's Creed III.

Some mechanics from previous games' multiplayer have been incorporated, such as Eagle Vision including a detection compass for targets, and whispers building in volume to indicate pursuers nearby. Environmental hazards have been incorporated with poison gas barrels, which drive victims berserk within their expanding radius, that Shay can avoid by pulling a mask over his face.

During ship boarding sequences, Shay and his crew must defend the Morrigan from Assassin-affiliated attackers, as opposed to being the boarding party in Black Flag.

Hunting returns with new animals unique to the Arctic regions, such as narwhals and polar bear.

Characters seen previously in the Kenway saga will make appearances, such as Haytham Kenway from Assassin's Creed III.^[4]
