Which Assassin's Creed game stars the former Assassin Shay Cormac?

The story behind the answer

Assassin's Creed Rogue stars Shay Cormac, a former Assassin who joins the Templars.

Shay Patrick Cormac begins the game as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the Seven Years' War. After a mission involving an ancient artifact causes a catastrophic event, he loses faith in the Brotherhood's methods and defects to the Templar Order. The story therefore presents events from a perspective unusual for the series.

Ubisoft Sofia developed Assassin's Creed Rogue, which was released in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with later versions following. Its narrative connects with Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III. Rogue is sometimes confused with Unity because both launched in 2014, but Unity follows Arno Dorian in Paris while Rogue follows Shay across the North Atlantic and colonial North America.
