Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Will Have Female Viking Raider—”Historical Accuracy” Whiners Can Shut It

The next 'Assassin's Creed' video game, 'Assassin's Creed Valhalla', will make the radical statement that women can be Vikings too.

““The archaeological sources are highly debated on that specific issue,” said Noël. “But the fact is, and I think what’s really important, is that it was part of their conception of the world. Sagas and myths from Norse society are full of tough female characters and warriors. It was part of their idea of the world, that women and men are equally formidable in battle, and that’s something that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will reflect.”

I’m glad that, despite the minor backlash to Kassandra, those at Ubisoft decided to go forward with making sure that players have the choice. If nothing is being taken away from the gameplay, why should it matter? Especially when it’s not as if there are any fixed titular characters in this series anymore. The whole point is to be able to experience things in different times, so some people getting so hung up on games allowing gender inclusion just screams of childishness.”
