What was the title of the 2014 Assassin's Creed game starring Templar-turned-Assassin Shay Cormac?

The story behind the answer

The 2014 game starring Shay Cormac is titled Assassin's Creed Rogue.

Shay Patrick Cormac begins as an Assassin but becomes disillusioned after a catastrophic mission. He defects to the Templars and hunts former allies, making Rogue the series' most direct examination of the conflict from a Templar-aligned perspective. The story is set during the Seven Years' War in the eighteenth century.

Rogue uses naval exploration and combat similar to Black Flag, but Shay commands the Morrigan rather than Edward Kenway's Jackdaw. The game also connects to Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed Unity, linking several storylines across the North Atlantic and Europe.

Rogue was released for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2014, alongside Unity on newer consoles and PC. Its title is sometimes confused with Liberation, a separate game centered on Aveline de Grandpré, or Revelations, which concludes major parts of Ezio and Altaïr's stories.
