Remember when it was reported that there would be two Assassin's Creed this year. One for current gen and another for last gen? Well if not that's exactly what is happening.
At E3 we got too see some footage of the upcoming Assassin's Creeed Unity, which is billed a four player team based co-op game rather then the usual single player experience. That release date has been out for a while. Assassin's Creed Unity is coming out October 28th 2014.
Rogue however will offer that traditional single player experience one would expect for an Assassin's Creed game. Now I do believe that Assassin's Creed Unity might also offer a single player experience, I think that game is built more towards four players than one. In fact I just did some research and the game while have many missions for Co-Op but there are still some missions intended only for single player.
While AC: Unity drops the naval combat and focuses on land only. AC: Rogue places you in the shoes of a Templar protagonist and features predominantly naval combat like Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. Instead of sailing around the Caribbean however, you'll be exploring the Atlantic Ocean. The game will tie directly into the Kenway Family Saga, and Unity.
The Seven Years War is the main historical backdrop of Rogue. It should be interesting to see which game sells better, Unity or Rouge. Xbox 360 and PS3 have a larger installed user base then current gen consoles. Could Unity be the system seller for next gen? Getting gamers from the previous generation cycle jump into the new era of gaming? Or will Rouge's similarity to previous entries in Assassin's Creed franchise, keep gamers comfortable with where they are? It'll be interesting to see how this get's answered
The game is being developed by Ubisoft Sofia and you can expect on Xbox 360 and PS3 November 11th.
