E3 2012: Assassin’s Creed: Liberation will Feature First Female Protagonist | 404.org
Assassin’s Creed: Liberation takes place in New Orleans during the Louisiana Rebellion, at the same period of time as the new main title. It doesn’t link to Desmond’s story, but it will link to Connor’s, as apparently he will be making an appearance in the game. Like Connor, the new character is also of two races — this time African American and caucasian. Her name is Aveline, and as you can see from the trailer, she kicks butt, and actually isn’t overly sexualized (although I guess for the time period, her running around in trousers would have been pretty scandalous). Hurray for awesome women of colour in video games! I mean, obviously that is a Big Deal. There’s also lots of incentives for purchasing the two games together (III and Liberation are both being released on the same day, October 30th): exclusive downloadable content for both games, including character skins, multiplayer characters, a free upgrade on all ammunition pouches, and Aveline will be able to use Connor’s tomahawk.
