Which 2014 Assassin's Creed game follows Shay Cormac after he leaves the Colonial Brotherhood?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue follows Shay Cormac after he leaves the Colonial Brotherhood.

Shay Patrick Cormac begins the game as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the Seven Years' War. After a disastrous mission and a crisis of faith, he defects to the Templars. The story then presents the Assassin–Templar conflict largely through the viewpoint of a former Assassin who hunts his old allies.

Rogue connects several parts of the series. Shay encounters figures associated with Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, while the ending leads directly toward the circumstances surrounding Assassin's Creed Unity. Its North Atlantic, river, and New York locations also give the game a strong naval and frontier identity.

Rogue is not Unity, even though both games were released in 2014. Unity follows Arno Dorian in Paris during the French Revolution, whereas Rogue centers on Shay's ideological change and Templar service.
