Set against the turbulent backdrop of 18th-century North America, Assassin’s Creed® Rogue offers a gripping action-adventure experience that diverges from the traditional hero's journey. Released on March 9, 2015, this entry in the acclaimed franchise plunges players into the heart of the French and Indian War, where the lines between righteousness and villainy are dangerously blurred.
A Tale of Betrayal and Transformation
In this dark chapter of the series, players step into the boots of Shay Patrick Cormac. Once a fearless young member of the Brotherhood of Assassins, Shay’s life is irrevocably changed after a high-stakes mission ends in tragedy. The consequences of this failure lead to a profound and permanent transformation; cast aside by the very Assassins he once called brothers, Shay finds himself hunted by those he once swore to protect.
Driven by a need for vengeance and a new sense of purpose, Shay sets out on a mission to wipe out all who turned against him. As players navigate this journey, they will witness his evolution from a dedicated Assassin into the most feared Assassin Hunter in history, shaping the future of the American colonies through his pursuit of the Brotherhood.
