Female assassins have been a consistently requested feature by fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise. However, the main character of Assassin’s Creed III is not a female and creative director Alex Hutchinson indicates that the game’s setting makes including female characters difficult.
“It’s always up in the air. I think lots of people want it. In this period it’s been a bit of a pain. The history of the American Revolution is the history of men,” said Hutchinson. “There are a few people, like John Adams’ wife. They tried very hard in the TV series to not make it look like a bunch of dudes, but it really is a bunch of dudes.”
“It felt like, if you had all these men in every scene and you’re secretly, stealthily in crowds of dudes [as a female assassin], it starts to feel kind of wrong,” he noted. “People would stop believing it.”
