You know, a thought crossed my mind lately. That Rogue is basically Revelations of the Kenway saga. In a sense it's a 'not sure if really necessary' third game in the sub-series, based in at least 60% on asset re-use from a previous game, that pretty much already tied and finished the story of Kenway line, much like Brotherhood was pretty satisfactory conclusion to Ezio vs the Borgia arc.

Now we get a new protagonist that isn't even a Kenway, who gets to roll over the established characters for the sake of wrapping up the plot in the Caribbean/Colonies. Granted, it's better than Ezio magically finding a letter from his father that we didn't hear about for 40 or so years of AC2/BH, but still seems kinda bleak.

Now, personally, I'm currently more interested in Rogue than Unity, mostly because of what I see - the mechanics I know, and the characters I know, so it'll be faster to get eased into it, if nothing else. But if Shay renounces the Templars in the end just to be with a possible love interest that he just met a month ago game-wise, I will shank someone.
