From Pirates to Polar Bears, This Assassin's Creed Rogue Trailer Is Laced With Danger

Ubisoft today released a new gameplay trailer for upcoming stealth-action game Assassin's Creed Rogue. The two-minute trailer gives you an overview of the game, including its story, the enemies you'll face (human and animal), and how you'll vanquish foes in bloody fashion.

In Assassin's Creed Rogue, you play as a man named Shay Patrick Cormac, an Assassin-turned-Templar. For the first time in the series, you'll get to experience the other side of the story and use Templar weapons and items. "The Assassins were my brothers; now I hunt them to the ends of the earth and I swear I will not fail," Cormac says.

In keeping with tradition, Assassin's Creed Rogue will let you perform some brutal takedowns. In the video, we see Cormac killing an enemy by sticking a sword through his face and slicing at the throat of another, sending blood gushing into the open air.

The trailer also highlights some of the wildlife in Assassin's Creed Rogue, including polar bears and whales, as well as the new and improved naval combat mode, which now takes place in frozen waters. You can watch the entire trailer above.

Assassin's Creed Rogue launches on November 11 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the same day that Assassin's Creed Unity is released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
