Shortly after being leaked through unofficial channels, publisher Ubisoft confirmed today that Assassin's Creed Rogue will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this November shortly after the current-generation sequel, Assassin's Creed Unity. Ubisoft also released, officially, the game's first cinematic pre-rendered trailer featuring protagonist Shay Cormac.
Assassin's Creed Rogue is set in the mid-18th century during the Seven Years' War and will take place in various North American locations, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley and New York, Ubisoft said. Players will take control of a templar named Shay Patrick Cormac and hunt down assassins. Naval battles will once again be a component of the game, with Ubisoft promising new weapons on land and sea, including a new vessel named the Morrigan.
"Assassin's Creed Rogue completes the North American saga started with Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag and gives previous-generation console owners an exclusive opportunity to experience fan-requested features, such as playing as a Templar," said Martin Capel, game director at Ubisoft Sofia, in a release.
Rogue is being developed by seven Ubisoft studios. Ubisoft Sofia is leading, working with Ubisoft's Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios. The game will be released Nov. 11, two weeks after Assassin's Creed: Unity comes to PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One.
