Assassin's Creed: Rogue

The protagonist, Shay Patrick Cormac, is an Assassin recruit with a rebellious streak who eventually becomes disgruntled with the order's tactics and joins the Templars as a feared Assassin Hunter. Many characters from previous games return, including Adéwalé, while new modern day sequences introduce a new employee at Abstergo Entertainment who explores Cormac's memories during a server crash.

On land, typical missions return, with new weapons introduced such as air rifles and grenade launchers. The fighting mechanics have been altered to allow countering based on timing, rather than keeping a button pressed. Players must adapt to the tactics of Assassin opponents, using techniques like air attacks, hiding in bushes, and blending in with crowds. New animals to hunt include narwhals and polar bears. Passive income can be earned by restoring buildings, while certain regions need to be freed by taking on gangs that control them.

There are many collectibles and side quests, but there is no multiplayer mode.
