Which Assassin’s Creed game stars the Templar-turned-Assassin protagonist Shay Cormac?

Assassin’s Creed Rogue stars the Templar-turned-Assassin protagonist Shay Cormac.

Shay begins the story as an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the Seven Years’ War. After a disastrous mission involving an ancient artifact and an earthquake in Lisbon, he becomes disillusioned with the Brotherhood and joins the Templars. The game follows his campaign against former allies.

Rogue is set across the North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley, and New York City. Its cold maritime environment adds icebergs and freezing waters to naval exploration, while Shay’s ship, the Morrigan, supports travel and combat. Shay can also hunt Assassins who try to ambush him.

The game was released in 2014 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, alongside Unity on newer consoles and Windows. Rogue is closely connected to Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed III through shared characters, locations, and historical events.
