In Assassin's Creed Rogue, the entire Assassin Brotherhood will be hot on Shay's trail. Fortunately, Shay has a little gameplay mechanic up his sleeve to make sure the Assassins never get the better of him.
We already know how deadly an Assassin can be. We've spent several games learning how to stay in cover, blend with crowds and kill enemies without anyone noticing until it's far too late. Luckily for Shay, Rogue's game designers have put in a little system to help Shay remain relatively unstabbed in his mission to destroy the Brotherhood. Audio clues have been introduced to help Shay stay a step ahead of the Assassins.
When the player hears a whispering sound, that means an Assassin Stalker is close by, Stalkers are stealthy enemy types that try to sneak up on Shay by hiding in cover areas or prowling through trees, the same tactics the player used to use in previous games in the series. When the player notices that an Assassin is near, he can use Shay's advanced Eagle Vision to root them out and make sure he's the first one to strike.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Is Adding More Firepower To Naval Gameplay
In Assassin's Creed Rogue, Shay Cormac will begin the game as a successful member of the Assassin Brotherhood. After a certain mission goes south, however, he realizes that his ideals line up more with the Templar Order, which he joins under the tutelage of AC3's Haytham Kenway. In doing so, he leaves behind his good friends and becomes their hunter when he swears that he will exact justice on the Assassins. Returning characters Adéwalé and Achilles Davenport are just two of the Assassins who will stand in Shay's way.
Assassin's Creed Rogue is set to launch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 11. A PC version has been confirmed for early next year.
