- The game delves into what the act of betraying the Assassins means means to the game’s protagonist, a man named Shay Patrick Cormac, who now hunts his former brothers in the name of the Templars.
- When players first meet Shay, he’s a 21-year-old recruit who’s already beginning to question why the Assassins operated as they do. “Basically, Shay starts off as a brash young man,” says Richard Farrese, the game’s writer. “He doesn't really take his role seriously as an assassin, not because he doesn't believe in the cause, but because he's young and not quite wise yet.”
- The game is set between the years 1752 and 1761, placing it between the events of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin’s Creed III.
- There will be a traumatic event and before this event happens, "Shay is still being frivolous and not so serious as a character,” says Ivan Balabanov, producer and general manager of Ubisoft Sofia. “Then, we see his transformation into this very somber, dedicated character who is pursuing his former comrades for something he genuinely believes is the better road. At some point in the game there's going to be something that's going to happen, and this will make Shay rethink his whole philosophy and his allegiance to the assassins,” Farrese says. “Eventually, he will realize that the Templars' goals and methods are much more in line with his own beliefs, and he's got to join the cause.”
- Farrese said: "I think that's one of the exciting things about playing a Templar, in that you're experiencing all of that from the other side. Now you're part of the order, and you fight against the chaos that the Assassins bring.”
- He’s outfitted with a variety of exotic weapons that either existed as prototypes during the era or were actually in use at the time. The most noticeable example is his air rifle, which allows him to silently take out enemies at a distance without suffering the indignity of blowing out of a pipe. The weapon can be outfitted with a variety of different projectiles, like firecrackers that distract enemies or help him complete objectives. He also has a grenade launcher, which fires off shrapnel grenades and other loads.
- The Morrigan is smaller than Edward Kenway’s Jackdaw, allowing it to navigate the rivers and bays of the North Atlantic. It’s outfitted with a Puckle gun, an early version of a machine gun that lets him pepper his foes into splinters.

Assassin’s Creed ® Rogue Arctic Naval Gameplay Walkthrough (UK)

Game is eigenlijk een Black Flag 2.0 zo te zien. Niet dat ik dat erg vind, want ik vond het piraatje spelen erg leuk. Baal nog wel steeds dat de game niet naar Wii U komt.

Ik zag de twee nieuwe trailers op VG247. Ziet er toch nog tof uit, ik kijk er stiekem toch naar uit. AC3 en AC Liberations vorige keer gehaald, daarna alleen AC4, nu weer getrakteerd op twee AC titels in een jaar. Kom maar op.

Deze AC game had ik evenals Unity op m'n lijstje staan maar nu ik zie dat er verbanden zijn met 3 en Black Flag (die ik beide niet gespeeld heb noch denk aan te schaffen) denk ik er aan om deze maar te skippen.

Wat ik wel apart vind is dat grote sites als IGN en nog een aantal de game vandaag pas binnen hebben gekregen, en op PU.nl hebben ze al een review staan. Die zou de game dan al wel veel eerder hebben ontvangen? Of zou het gebaseerd zijn op een eerdere hands on?
