Assassin’s Creed Rogue – Assassins vs. Templars

What does it mean to be a Templar? How does it feel to shed those familiar Assassin robes? And what is it about the Templar cause that’s so appealing to a man like Shay Cormac? We asked Producer Ivan Balabanov about Shay, why he jumped ship and joined the enemy, and what the differences are between the Assassins and the Templars from a gameplay perspective. Watch our video interview for new insights into Assassin’s Creed Rogue.

 
Assassin’s Creed Rogue stars Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin-turned-Templar set on seeing his former Brotherhood brought to its knees after a mission goes horribly wrong. Now you will step over the line and fight alongside those you’ve hunted for so long. Take on Assassins who are armed with all the skills you’ve mastered over the years. You’ll have some new tricks to help you on your journey, including an advanced armory courtesy of the Templar’s generous funding. Rogue will be available on November 11 for Xbox 360 and PS3.
