Assassin's Creed: Rogue

The protagonist, Shay Patrick Cormac, is an Assassin recruit with a rebellious streak who eventually becomes disillusioned with the order's tactics and joins the Templars. The game features many returning characters from previous games, including Adéwalé. Players also return to the modern day sequences, exploring Cormac's memories during a server crash as a new employee at Abstergo Entertainment.

On land, typical missions return with some alterations to the fighting mechanics, allowing for countering based on timing rather than keeping a button pressed. New weapons include air rifles, grenade launchers, and oil barrels that can be ignited. Sea shanties return, featuring a mix of old and new songs. Players also encounter new animals to hunt, such as narwhals and polar bears.
