Assassin's Creed Rogue primarily depicts 1752 during its opening sequence.
Assassin's Creed Rogue begins in 1752 and follows Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin operating in the North Atlantic during the Seven Years' War era. After a disastrous mission involving an Isu artifact, Shay becomes disillusioned with the Brotherhood and eventually joins the Templars. The story then presents the conflict from a Templar perspective.
The game connects its narrative to Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. It includes North Atlantic voyages, the River Valley, and New York, and it features characters such as Haytham Kenway and Achilles Davenport. Its events also lead into the circumstances surrounding Assassin's Creed Unity.
The year 1752 can be confused with dates from the wider colonial storyline, including 1754, when the French and Indian War began. The American Declaration of Independence in 1776 is also a prominent date in the broader franchise, but it is not Rogue's opening year.
