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

Gameplay

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 a compass indicating the target's position being a part of Eagle Vision, and whispers increasing in volume to indicate the presence of nearby stalkers.

Environmental hazards have been incorporated in the form of poison gas barrels, which drives victims berserk within their expanding radius; Shay can avoid being affected by pulling a mask over his face.^[2] Accompanying this, swimming in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic damages Shay's health.^[4]

During ship boarding sequences, Shay and his crew must defend the Morrigan from Assassin-affiliated attackers, as opposed to being the boarding party in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.^[5] Sea shanties make a return in Rogue, comprised of a mix of old favorites from Black Flag and new, composed ones.

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.^[5]

Unlike in previous games, there is no penalty for killing innocents.^[4]
