Set in the 18th century during the Seven Years War, Rogue completes the North America saga that began with Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. From loyal Assassin brother to the Templar’s favored hunter, Shay will travel through the arctic North Atlantic Ocean, the Appalachian River Valley and a bustling New York City on his mission to destroy the Assassins.

In addition to the new environments, Shay will have access to some never-before-seen weapons as well as a new ship, The Morrigan, to help him take on threats on the open ocean with the return of naval gameplay.

Assassin’s Creed Rogue is being developed by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios, and will release exclusively on Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 11 globally (November 12 for France).

For the first time ever, experience the Assassin’s Creed universe from the perspective of a Templar. Play as Shay, who, in addition to the deadly skills of a Master Assassin, also possesses never before seen skills and weapons:
  • Equip Shay’s deadly air rifle for both short and long range combat. Distract, eliminate, or confuse your enemies by using a variety of ammunition, including specialized bullets and grenades
  • Protect yourself from hidden Assassins with your enhanced eagle vision. Constantly assess your surroundings and detect Assassins hiding in the shadows, on rooftops, and in the crowds

Cast off in your ship, The Morrigan, and fight your way through the icy seas of the North Atlantic and the narrow waters of America’s river valleys. Assassin’s Creed® Rogue builds on the award winning naval experience from Assassin’s Creed® IV Black Flag™ with all new gameplay including:
  • New enemy tactics: Defend yourself from Assassins as they attempt to board your ship and overthrow your crew. Fight them off quickly to avoid losing too many crew members.
  • New weapons: Including burning oil, which leaves a trail of fire behind to burn enemy ships, and the puckle gun, capable of delivering continuous machine-gun-like fire.
  • An arctic world full of possibilities: Ram through ice sheets to discover hidden locations and use icebergs as cover during naval battles.

Shay’s story will allow you to explore three unique environments:
  • The North Atlantic Ocean Experience the cold winds and towering icebergs of the arctic in this expansive naval playground
  • The River Valley A large hybrid setting of the American Frontier mixing seamless river navigation and ground exploration
  • New York City One of the most well-known cities in the world, fully recreated as it existed in the 18th century.

It's the same cinematic as the one Gaius posted with a different voice-over.

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue is officially coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but new evidence adds to expectations it will likely appear on PC, too.

Assassin’s Creed: Rogue has been listed for PC by the Brazilian Classification Board, according to one NeoGAF user, providing a screenshot.

Another user user also says Ubisoft listed the game for PC on its Uplay website this weekend, uploading a credible screengrab.

Neither claim can be verified, unfortunately; the Uplay reward page is gone, if it existed, and when I queried the Brazilian Classification Board database the results suggested there were no Assassin’s Creed games on its records at all. Either the search is more complicated than I thought, or Ubisoft has locked it down tight. (I was able to bring up records for many other games without any problems.)

Ubisoft has always said PC, PS4 and Xbox One users can enjoy Assassin’s Creed: Unity, but it also hasn’t ruled out the possibility of Rogue being ported, so all things are possible.

Set in Paris during the French Revolution, Unity adds four player co-op, bringing multiplayer to the story campaign for the first time in the franchise’s history. Rogue tracks the adventures of an irish Templar named Shay, and involves a lot of sea battles. Both games are due in November.
