​

After a ratings board leak last month, rumors were circulating that Assassins' Creed: Rogue would be getting a re-release on current generation hardware. And as of today, Ubisoft has confirmed that the game will be getting remastered for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will feature 4K resolution for the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X as well. Additionally, all DLC content will be bundled with the remastered version of the game. Assassins' Creed: Rogue initially launched in 2014, for PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.

Today, Ubisoft announced that Assassin’s Creed® Rogue Remastered will be available on March 20th, 2018, for PlayStation®4 Pro and Playstation®4 computer entertainment systems, and across the Xbox One family of devices, including Xbox One X. Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered will include all of the downloadable content from the original game: two bonus missions (The Armor of Sir Gunn Quest and The Siege of Fort de Sable), as well as the Master Templar and Explorer packs, which contain weapons, customisation items and special outfits, including Bayek’s legacy outfit from Assassin’s Creed® Origins.


Created by Ubisoft Sofia, the studio that developed the original Assassin’s Creed Rogue, this remaster further enriches the franchise’s current-gen catalogue, and the game will shine in 4K on PlayStation®4 Pro and Xbox One X (and run 1080p on PS4™ and Xbox One). Thanks to the higher resolution, improved environment rendering, visual effects and textures, Assassin’s Creed Rogue Remastered will offer an even more beautiful and immersive gaming experience that invites fans of the series and new players alike to discover, or rediscover, Shay’s adventures in 18th century North America.


Initially launched on PlayStation®3 and Xbox 360 in 2014, Assassin’s Creed Rogue tells the unique story of Shay Patrick Cormac, a fearless young member of the Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, who undergoes a dark transformation from an Assassin to a grim and committed Templar who hunts down his former brothers. Players’ journeys will take them from beautiful New York City to the Wild River Valley and icy cold waters of the North Atlantic.


Assassin’s Creed is an action-adventure series set in fully realised open world environments throughout notable times in history, such as the Third Crusade, the Golden Age of Pirates and the Industrial Revolution. Initially launched in 2007, the Assassin’s Creed franchise has since transcended video games to offer new and immersive experiences in comic books, mobile games, novels and even movies. Recognised for having some of the richest, most engrossing storytelling in the industry, Assassin's Creed games have sold more than 105 million units worldwide, and the franchise is now established as one of the best-selling series ever

Oh, so no Switch? Darn okay, guess I won't play it.

 

[Polopop123]

Pity there’s no Switch version and considering the Mario and Rabbids game I’m quite surprised

 

[ut2k4master]

booooo, no switch version..

 

[KingVamp]

Seriously, another port? /s

 

[DinohScene]

Game that launched 3.5 years ago is getting a 4k remaster.

Shiet.
They really want to squeeze money out of you ;/

Bring The Saboteur to Xbone/PS4 if you're so keen on remastering.

 

[Reploid]

another remaster... hooray...

 

[T-hug]

Well this game released the same day as Black Flag iirc, but everyone had made the jump to nextgen and didn't get to play this as it was PS3/360 only, whereas Black Flag was PS4/X1. It was a weird move by Ubisoft.

I knew they would do this and am happy to finally get to play!

 

[Steena]

remaster of annual soulless greedy rehashes that's not even a full generation old, of games that ship on broken launch conditions that don't get properly fixed and cost full price plus 83 preorder exclusive versions and microtransaction purchases

but yeah, nevermind that, no switch version? NOW the game is not worth buying, fuck you ubisoft!

I think it actually launched alongside the new AC at the time? Unity? And people ignored it hardcore. Which is sad because this game is miles above Unity in every way.

 

[DeslotlCL]

wow, people still bitching about certain games not coming to switch? just, wow...

cant wait to try it out.

Yeah, since you can't already have a PS3 or X360 when you get a PS4 or Xbone.
Honestly, that move wasn't weird at all, because if people weren't that hyped about those already underpowered consoles and hadn't bought Black Flag to justify their decision of purchasing consoles with little to no good launch titles, it would have looked bad without the insurance that Rogue basically was. It wasn't necessary, but better be safe than sorry, right?

Regardless, I ain't getting this, since the Switch is left out here... So much for Ubisofts great partnership with Nintendo.

2018 IS THE YEAR OF REMASTERS!!

All companies' bosses: how can we grab as much as possible profit for less possible efforts?
Employee: Recycle old games with upscaled fake resolution and sell them to sheeps as REMASTER!
BOSSES: JUST DO IT!!!

 

[T-hug]

Oh yeah it may have been Unity @Chary
I just remember wanting Rogue more as it had more sailing stuff, which I enjoyed in Black Flag.

 

[the_randomizer]

I'm glad it's not AC: Unity getting the remaster

 

[Foxi4]

Good. A lot of people, including myself, missed out on Rogue due to the generation switch.

 

[Deleted User]

Added to my list of game to pick up when I eventually buy a PS4.

Where's my Doom 2016 remaster

Patience darling, it's being polished as we speak!

Patience darling, it's being polished as we speak!

It's on the Switch already. Forget 4K, this one has half the FPS and resolution!
