Details about "Assasin's Creed Rogue" have leaked. It may be officially announced at the currently ongoing Gamescom 2014, and it is said to be the missing link connecting the story of Unity with the previous Assassin's Creed title, "Assasin's Creed IV Black Flag"

"Assassin's Creed Rogue" (previously subtitled "Comet") is an interesting new twist on the familiar story. Instead of playing an Assassin battling against the mysterious Templars, you now play an Assassin who has "gone rogue", that is, one who has turned from Assassin to Assassin hunter.

You play Shay Cormac, an Irish sailor who commands the ship Morrigan, and the action is set on the icy waters of the north Atlantic Ocean. Unlike Edward Kenway's Jackdaw, the Morrigan is able to navigate rivers. There are also new features such as ignitable oil slicks you can leave on the water, rapid fire cannons and the chance of enemies boarding your ship.

Shay Corman is an interesting character. He feels betrayed by the Assassin's Guild, and has been given near limitless resources by the Templars with which to hunt them down. His actions are said to play a key role in ending the American trilogy of games which began with "Assasin's Creed 3"  and moving the storyline more towards France, the setting for "Assasin's Creed Unity."

The game is an exclusive title which is coming only to older generation consoles, because Ubisoft wanted to make sure their next gen title, "Assassin's Creed Unity," is designed only for Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC to harness its full potential. While this cannot be called as a gap filler to keep players keep on the old consoles, it does look like the game developers have compromised a bit, to make sure they don't end up spending too much time on its development.

The latest issue of the Game Informer magazine had a special coverage on this upcoming title, which revealed that Assassin's Creed Rogue will not have a multi-player option. While this cannot be considered to be shocking news, given the fact that this title was supposed to focus on the story line, rather than additional features, it does let us know that Ubisoft is actually moving towards a new generation. Game development companies cannot make such public announcements as they have a large fan base to cater to, on PS3 and Xbox 360; but it is evident that the end of 2014 will also be the end of the older generation Microsoft and Sony consoles, without a doubt.

"Assassin's Creed: Rogue" is also set sometime between 1752 and 1761 during the Seven Years' War, where navigation of the ship will also entail dealing with icebergs. The developers have made sure that these icebergs don't stand meaningless, as they can either damage the ship, be used as cover for the ship or be destroyed to create a reaction to the surrounding water.

Gaming Everything has also confirmed some two side missions. One is the Assassin Interception, which is fitting of Shay's transfer from assassin to assassin hunter, as it will entail stopping the killer from hunting his allies. The other is the Templar Control, where the player will still be acting like an assassin by taking over districts.

As Shay, players will be lugging an experimental air rifle, which can be used as a distraction with its firecracker capabilities or a troublesome weapon for the enemy with its shrapnel grenades, sleeping or berserker gas, and grenade launcher.

"Assassin's Creed: Rogue" release date is set for Nov. 11. Check back often for more details as we get closer to the release date.
