What is the name of the Assassin’s Creed game starring Shay Cormac, who joins the Templars?

Assassin’s Creed Rogue is the game starring Shay Cormac, an Assassin who joins the Templars.

Released in 2014, Rogue follows Shay Patrick Cormac after he becomes disillusioned with the Assassin Brotherhood. The story reverses the usual player perspective by placing Shay within the Templar Order and making former allies his enemies.

The game is set primarily in the North Atlantic, the Appalachian frontier, and New York during the eighteenth century. Its events connect directly with Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, linking characters and historical developments across those games.

Rogue is sometimes mistaken for Unity because both were released in the same broad period and share links to the French Brotherhood. Rogue’s narrative instead focuses on Shay’s ideological change and the consequences of Assassin actions.
