You'll play Shay Patrick Cormac, a Templar tasked with thinning the Assassin's ranks. As expected, you'll be sailing around the Northern Atlantic Ocean in a ship called the Morrigan, as well as exploring New York and the Appalachian River Valley.Intriguingly, Cormac's story will apparently tie into the Kenway family saga that started in Assassin's Creed 3 before continuing in Black Flag, though it'll also tie into the upcoming Assassin's Creed Unity. The game takes place against a backdrop of The Seven Years' War, which has direct ties to the French Revolution. Assassin's Creed Rogue is being worked on by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios. A worldwide release date of November 11 has also been confirmed.Original story follows.

Assassin's Creed: Rogue will arrive on Xbox 360 and PS3 on November 11, according to a leaked trailer (since removed).The game, which was previously referred to as Assassin's Creed Comet though the real name leaked last week , had its box art revealed thanks to Access the Animus It looks like Rogue will continue the trend popularised in Assassin's Creed 4 of mixing sea and land-based gameplay, offering you the chance to explore large areas of the Atlantic. The trailer also shows a new protagonist traversing the Arctic and, as we've long suspected, it looks like you'll be playing as a Templar The trailer also confirms we should expect more DLC to appear and offer new customisation options. One example highlighted in the trailer is The Ultimate Hunter Pack, which comes replete with new weapons, ship sails and a ship wheel.When IGN reached out to Ubisoft for comment, we were told the company doesn't comment on rumour and speculation. Expect to hear more at Gamescom next week.
