<p>Assassin&#8217;s Creed may be worlds apart this year, but it won&#8217;t be letting down last-gen console owners. This year, you&#8217;ll finally be hunting your former allies through a different pair of eyes.</p>
<p>In France we have Arno Dorian, a French revolutionary and Assassin thirsty for revenge and, along the way, falling in love with a Templar named Elise admits one of the world&#8217;s most violent upheavals.</p>
<p>In the New World, we <a href="https://bagogames.com/assassins-creed-rogue-game-confirmed/">have Shay Patrick Cormac</a>, an assassin-turned-templar bent on hunting his former order&#8217;s members while sailing the Atlantic in the name of the British.</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s one thing both men share, it&#8217;s France&#8217;s most famous wars at home and abroad. Shay will be setting sail through the North Atlantic amidst the country&#8217;s infamous Seven Year&#8217;s War of which America&#8217;s French and Indian War was a part of.</p>
<p>Now Ubisoft has shared with us some of his latest tricks on the frozen waters.</p>
<p>Picking up where <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed IV: Black Flag</em> left off, <em>Assassin’s Creed Rogue</em> brings its own navel gameplay onto the scene that <a href="https://bagogames.com/assassins-creed-unity-will-feature-naval-combat/">its land lubbers in <em>Unity</em> don&#8217;t</a>.</p>
<p>At first glance, Shay&#8217;s ship might seem quite familiar to those who played Edward Kenway&#8217;s adventures. Shay can be seen with Edward&#8217;s son, Haytham, who would go onto father Connor Kenway, <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed III</em>&#8216;s lead protagonist. The merry sound of twenty new sea shanties will accompany your voyage this time around along with Black Flag&#8217;s sailing mechanics and familiar HUD.</p>
<p>Naval gameplay returns to play a part in Shay&#8217;s sea-savvy hand, with ships to loot and forts to raid. Unlike <em>Black Flag</em>, you&#8217;ll be ramming more than enemy flotillas. Icebergs are destructible via your ship&#8217;s ram or flying cannon balls and may hold a frozen shipwreck full of treasure chests and the &#8220;Templar keys&#8221; to unlock them. Mind you step (and the polar bears).</p>
<p>If the ice and rocky seas don&#8217;t sink your ship, then their resident Assassins adrift in your sight might, though. The North Atlantic passages offer a wealth of Assassin led ships to board and pillage. You&#8217;ll also set out to rescue your fellow Templars imprisoned onboard the Assassin seaside communities play host to a variety of side quests.</p>
<p><em> Assassin&#8217;s Creed: Rogue </em>weighs anchor<strong> November 11th</strong> on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, while <em>Unity</em> ignites its revolution <strong>October 28th </strong>on Playstation 4, Windows for PC, and Xbox One.</p>
<p>Tell us: Which game are you picking up? <em>Rogue</em>?<em> Unity? </em>Both?</p>
