When the two Assassin’s Creed games for 2014 were released in November, the titles were distributed based on generation: Assassin’s Creed Rogue would be available only on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 while the more enhanced (albeit more buggy) Assassin’s Creed Unity would only be available on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. It was really only a matter of time before Rogue would make its way to current gen consoles, and when has been confirmed today.
Ubisoft have confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Rogue will be released on the PC starting March 10th 2015 via physical and digital channels. This game features all the features of the original game – including an enhanced navel system from the one introduced in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. The PC development team in Kiev have also partnered with Tobii Tech to intergrate eye tracking input as a component of gameplay. While I don’t personally see this as any more than a simple gimmick – they claim it will allow players to gain “true gaming immersion” when using the SteelSeries Sentry (with Tobii eye tracking). Through this system, when players look to the left or right of the screen, the camera will pan to accommodate this movement.
As an added incentive for pre-ordering Assassin’s Creed Rogue on the Uplay Shop, players will be able to receive one of seven bonus Assassin’s Creed Games of their choosing and (for those going digital) two additional bonus packs: The Siege of Fort de Sable and The Explorer.
Developed by Ubisoft Sofia, in collaboration with Ubisoft’s Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan and Bucharest studios, Assassin’s Creed Rogue takes players to new adventures with Shay Patrick Cormac, a member of the Brotherhood who becomes an Assassin Hunter. Starting in 1752, Assassin’s Creed Rogue is set during the Seven Years War and gives players new locations across North America to explore, including the frozen North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley and New York. As Shay Patrick Cormac, players suffer the brotherhood’s betrayal and experience the Assassin’s Creed universe through the eyes of a Templar. Ubisoft Kiev adapted Assassin’s Creed Rogue for Windows PC.
