As we all know, Ubisoft recently dropped the new "Assassin's Creed: Unity" at E3. It was revealed that there are 4 new protagonists. All of them male, and all of them white. This has a sparked a bit of an outrage among fans via social media sites, because it was very unrealistic to have all the protags be white, scruffy, 30 something year old males. They even had planned for a female assassin in production, but dropped it because it was "too much work". A lot of fan have called bullshit on this.
"The French Revolution (French: Révolution française) was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France from 1789 to 1799 that profoundly affected French and modern history, marking the decline of powerful monarchies and churches and the rise of democracy and nationalism."
It was also the people of the working class who made that change possible. Women and POC included. So not includeing them in their quartet of new assassin leads is not only annoying but very unrealistic. There also was a real life female assassin during the French Revolution! Charlotte Corday was a prominet figure of the French Revolution, and yet another reason that they should have included a playable female assassin character.
What do you think of them making the new assassin's just four more scruffy white males? Do you think they should have broaden the range of assassin's? Or do you not care?
UPDATE: Now there are people who worked on Assassin's Creed 3 and Watchdogs also calling out Ubisoft on their bullshit.
