Assasin's Creed Rogue Release Date, Trailer, And Gameplay: Will Be Released Alongside 'Assassin's Creed Unity,' Play As Templar With Upgraded Weapons And Ships [VIDEO]

"Assassin's Creed Rogue" has a release date of November 11.

Ubisoft has announced that "Assasin's Creed Unity" has been delayed and will share a release date with "Rogue"

Ubisoft senior communications manager Gary Steinman explained on the Ubisoft blog that the developer needed more time to fine-tune and polish "little things" before the game is ready.

"A tiny gesture that Arno makes as he's racing across the Parisian rooftops. A barely noticeable reaction from a solitary NPC in a crowd 3,000 deep. The subtle swaying motion of an opulent chandelier in a lavish ballroom," he said. "It's these little things, multiplied by the thousands, that a development team focuses on during the final push to ship a game. And with a massive open-world title like Assassin's Creed Unity, all those little things add up fast. Toss in the fact that Unity has been built from the ground up as a new-gen Assassin's Creed--and that final straight-line sprint to the finish suddenly feels like an obstacle course laden with curves, hurdles, and pitfalls."

Senior producer Vincent Pontbriand said "This being a fully next-gen game, it requires a lot of work, a lot of production, and a lot of learning," he said. "It's always hard to be precise and to quantify exactly how much work is involved. So as we get close to the finish we often realize we're near the target but we're not quite there yet."

Assassin's Creed: Rogue will continue the Kenway saga, Shacknews recently had a chance to talk to Ubisoft's Karl Luhe about this latest side-story in the AC series, while also getting an opportunity to see some more gameplay.

"Assassin's Creed Rogue fits between Assassin's Creed 4 and Assassin's Creed 3," Luhe explained to Shacknews. "It's the cornerstone of the Kenway saga, the story of Assassins versus Templars in the mid-18th century in North America." This time, however, you will play an assasin turned Templar. Hints that some characters like Haytham Kenway will return have also been dropped.

"Rogue "will add never-before-used weaponry and resources that the Assassin side simply doesn't have. Ships will have more firepower, and there will be an air rifle with a grenade launcher attachment on the ground, that said you're opponents will be assassin's so they may wait for you in haystacks and jump on you from a roof.

"Rogue" is set during the Seven Years' War and will take place in various North American locations, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley, and New York. The main templar character is called Shay Patrick Cormac.

"Assasin's Creed Rogue" release date will be November 11. Check back for more information as we get closer to the release date.
