This Assassin’s Creed Rogue story trailer is actually important

Not just because he kicks a guy off a ledge

Every major videogame these days is accompanied by a seemingly endless barrage of trailers prior to release. That’s just how things work now. A lot of it is little more than filler to keep the audience constantly reminded that a game still exists.

But, some of them are worth your time. This Assassin’s Creed Rogue story trailer is one of those. It paints the picture of why exactly Shay Patrick Cormac turned his back on the Assassin brotherhood. It reveals him committing to the Templar cause. And, it shows him playing in the snow a bunch.
