In Assassins Creed Rogue players will take on the role of assassin-turned-templar Shay Patrick Cormac, who is in the business of hunting assassins following a conversion to the templar way. Cormacs adventure will see him around the North Atlantic and the arctic circle during the Seven Years War, where polar-bear hunting and pitched sea battles amid hulking icebergs appears to be the order of the day. The new ship Morrigan will also be much smaller than the Jackdaw, allowing river travel and rapid-paced combat. Gameplay in AC Rogue is expected to be similar to Black Flag, fusing naval exploration with third-person land-based combat.
