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

Assassin's Creed Rogue is the 2014 prequel starring Shay Patrick Cormac. Its story connects the American-set games by showing how Shay's experiences lead him from the Assassin Brotherhood into the Templar Order.

Rogue is set between Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III in the series' historical chronology. It revisits characters and events from those games while presenting the conflict from the Templar side. The game originally launched for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 alongside Assassin's Creed Unity, which was released for newer consoles and Windows.

The title is sometimes confused with Freedom Cry, a downloadable standalone story focused on Adéwalé, or Liberation, which stars Aveline de Grandpré. Those are related Assassin's Creed releases, but Rogue is the specific 2014 game built around Shay's defection.
