What is the name of the Assassin's Creed game released in 2014 that follows Shay Cormac?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue is the 2014 game that follows Shay Cormac.

Shay Patrick Cormac begins the story as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the Seven Years' War. After a catastrophic mission and a break with the Brotherhood, he joins the Templar Order and hunts former allies. This perspective makes Rogue unusual within the series.

The game connects to Assassin's Creed III, Black Flag, and Unity. It includes characters such as Haytham Kenway and features locations in the North Atlantic, the River Valley, and New York. Its naval gameplay builds on systems developed for Black Flag.

Rogue launched in the same year as Unity, which can lead to confusion. Unity follows Arno Dorian in revolutionary Paris, whereas Rogue centers on Shay's change of allegiance and his campaign as a Templar. The title is therefore tied to a specific protagonist and viewpoint, not simply to a generic description of an Assassin.
