AC Rogue: meet Haytham,Adéwalé,Achilles. Assassin’s Creed Rogue Story Trailer. PC release announced



LIVING IN SHADES OF GRAY



After a mission for the Brotherhood goes horribly wrong, Assassin Shay Patrick Cormac questions his allegiance to his order. But much like the Templars, the Assassins demand unflinching obedience. As a result of his shaken faith, the Assassins turn their backs on him and try to kill him. He is nursed back to health by a family and given their son’s old clothes – Templar robes. As he works to pay them back for their kindness, he finds himself falling in line with the Templars’ ideals and is set on a path of vengeance. Shay takes it upon himself to destroy the Assassin Brotherhood in North America and the Templars provide him with the means to do so.



“Eventually he realizes these Templars’ motives are more in-line with what he believes is right,” Producer Karl van der Luhe says. “It’s not a case of I’m going to the dark side. It’s a case of I’m more aligned with their approach. The Templars and Assassins essentially want the same things, they just have very different ways of getting there.”



But at the very core of this revenge tale is a man driven by grief and betrayal. Shay is not some bloodthirsty killer. He’s brutal and efficient and good at his job, but he finds no joy in hunting down his formers brothers and sisters. Shay sees it as something that must be done to set things right.



“We wanted Shay to be a proper human being who understands the consequences of his actions,” explains Producer Ivan Balabanov. “Killing comes with a heavy emotional price, especially when it comes to killing your former comrades. It is certainly not something Shay does with a light heart. You see him carry the weight of his actions.”



“It might be troubling for some players to be taking on Assassins,” adds Luhe. “But once they learn more and see who Shay is and really get involved with his story, I think they’re going to question who is in the right. Are the Assassins really the good guys? Are all the Templars evil? I think they’ll see it’s all quite gray.”
