News: Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin’s Creed Rogue is coming to Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year and allows you to play as a Templar.

We have known about Assassin’s Creed Unity for some time now but that has always been exclusive to current gen consoles and PC. Earlier today Ubisoft revealed that they are not ditching gamers who still play on Xbox 360 and PS3 though. Previously rumored to be called Assassin’s Creed Comet, this new adventure is titled Assassin’s Creed Rogue and it appears like you will be able to play as a Templar.

Set in the middle of the 18th century during the Seven Years War, Assassin’s Creed Rogue gives players new locations across North America to explore, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley and New York. In Assassin’s Creed Rogue, players experience the Assassin’s Creed universe through the eyes of a Templar. As Shay Patrick Cormac, players suffer the brotherhood’s betrayal and transform into an Assassin hunter.

The acclaimed naval components from previous Assassin’s Creed games have been enhanced in Assassin’s Creed Rogue. The game also gives players new weapons to use on both land and sea in pursuit of taking down the Assassins, including a new ship called the Morrigan.

“We know that there are many Assassin’s Creed fans with Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles who want to get their hands on a new Assassin’s Creed game this year,” says Martin Capel, game director, Ubisoft Sofia. “Assassin’s Creed Rogue completes the North American saga started with Assassin’s Creed III and Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag and gives previous-generation console owners an exclusive opportunity to experience the fan-requested features, such as playing as a Templar.”

“The Assassin’s Creed series is a staple within the gaming industry, driving gamers to GameStop stores with each new release,” said Bob Puzon, Gamestop’s senior vice president of merchandising. “Assassin’s Creed Rogue on Xbox 360 and PS3 lets GameStop bring spectacular gameplay to our previous-generation customers.”

Assassin’s Creed Rogue is being developed by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios. Assassin’s Creed Rogue will be available on November 11 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Check out the announcement trailer below and tell us what you think.
