We will no doubt play at least one sequence with him as an Assassin, otherwise the story wouldn't make sense, so hood will be there. A hooded Templar outfit will probably be an alternate selectable one, since you never see one in gameplay so far, except that pre-rendered reveal trailer. Kinda like Edward's brown cloak was in concept pieces and then in game as an alternate thing.
