[UPDATE] Ubisoft has now formally announced Assassin's Creed Rogue. Below are some highlights.

• Launching November 11 for Xbox 360 and PS3; no mention of PC was made in the announcement
• Developed by Ubisoft Sofia in collaboration with Ubisoft offices in Singapore, Montreal, Quebec, Chengdu, Milan, and Bucharest
• Set in the middle of the 18th century during the Seven Years' War
• Players can explore various locations in North America, including the North Atlantic, the Appalachian River Valley, and New York
• You play as a Templar named Shay Patrick Cormac
• Completes the Assassin's Creed North American saga that began with Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

The original story is below.

The rumors were right. Today, Ubisoft officially announced Assassin's Creed Rogue, a new game in the series coming to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 this fall alongside Assassin's Creed Unity, which is launching only for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. You play an Assassin-turned-Templar named Shay Patrick Cormac, and you'll navigate a ship across the North Atlantic. Other locations include the Appalachian River Valley and a "reimagined" New York, according to the game's reveal announcement from Game Informer.

"Assassin's Creed Rogue is sort of the cornerstone of the Kenway trilogy," a Ubisoft designer says in Game Informer's video interview. "So Shay Patrick Cormac is an Assassin who will turn against his mentor and his brotherhood and join the Templar cause."

Assassin's Creed Rogue takes place during the Seven Years' War, and bridges the gap between Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Assassin's Creed III. Though Assassin's Creed Rogue and Assassin's Creed Unity are set on different continents, it's possible that the storylines will indeed overlap. "The Seven Years' War is part of what lead to France's financial troubles, and it's hinted that Shay has even deeper ties to Unity," Game Informer writes.

No official release date for Assassin's Creed Rogue has been announced, but a previous report suggested it is launching November 11, which is a couple weeks after Assassin's Creed Unity. It is also unclear if a PC version of Assassin's Creed Rogue is in the works. We are following up with Ubisoft for more about the game and will update this story as new information becomes available.

But only for the 360 and PS3? I will still play it, but I don't know why it isn't launching for the current-gen consoles, especially if they are finishing out the Kenway story. It's a way to make us forget about them.

Something to keep the fans who haven't upgraded yet happy without the possibility of the game taking sales away from AC Unity. Although I am surprised that it wasn't announced for PC.

At what point do gamers start choking on AC the way they have with series' like CoD.

Depends if we get another surprise like AC4 or another turd like AC3. If Unity or Rogue are the latter, it wont take long.

I was very impressed by AC4. Hopefully this one follows suit

Personally, I'm ready for the heimlich.

I enjoyed things about AC4, but overall I found it more of a distraction than a great game.

AC3 all but killed the series for me. I'm not sure if I'll play Unity or this.

Damn. 3 was that bad? I have only played up to Revelations.

It may not be as bad as I remember it in my head. It was just so damn hyped going in, and then everything about it was boring. The story, the cities, the characters (besides Haythem). And the fact that they took out some of the things I loved most in the Ezio games. It just rubbed me the wrong way. At some point I would like to go back to play it again to see if it was the hype train that killed it or if it's really as crappy as I thought it was back then.

I agree with Swarley. I'm definitely going to play it soon to get hyped for these new ones. Honestly, I know the naval battles were well-received, but they weren't great in ACIII and I have yet to play Black Flag because of it. I loved this series, and will play through all of them, but they took a drastic swerve after finishing Ezio's storyline, and I'm just not sure I liked it.

I did not like them in AC3, but I ended up loving it in AC4.
