Much like in Black Flag your ship starts out in terrible shape, barely sea worthy, and you need to plunder (mainly French) ships in order to procure material to upgrade your hull, cannons, mortars and so on. Our adventures also take us to New York, that serves as the primary town in the game.


Much like in Black Flag, Shay has his own ship that you sail on the Northern Atlantic navigating snow-covered islands and icebergs, as well as the Appalachian river valley. We'll come further into the details of that later on (and it might slightly spoil the first part of the game so if you're allergic to spoilers, be aware). It's not difficult to see where he's coming from - in his view the brotherhood has committed atrocities, while the Templars saved his life. The big twist here is naturally that you play as a former Assassin, who has turned his back on the brotherhood and joined the Templars.
