Oh dear. When asked Ubisoft's creative director said there aren't any female assassins in Unity because it would be too much work to put in. Which is a ridiculously poor excuse in this day and age, frankly.

 

In same ways it can kind of make sense all the assassin's are basically the same model with variants sure it saved them work. However how do they win now? If they add it they will just be accused of only adding cos of the controversy?

Well there's really no way out for them since this guy (Animation director for Assassin's Creed III and lead on ME 1&2, amongst many others) took to twitter:

We can only hope that this whole furore will encourage them (and others) to take better note of the diversity of their own fan base for future projects.

Yeah that follow up article was how I actually found out about this subject. I dunno I still kind of wonder where we are when this. I mean I'm not sure how racially diverse the 4 Assassin's were either so do they have cause to get offended as well? Does every game automatically have to cover it's bases now to avoid incidents like this?

 

On the other side am I wrong in thinking the assassin's you could call in during Brotherhood included women? Which kind of disproves female animation problems in some respect. Plus they have assets from the vita game....

I think modern gamers are becoming overly sensitive about issues like these. So what if all the players are male? Ultimately these characters are not supposed to represent ourselves; they're players we control to murder other people. Calling out for better representation in a game because it's now 2014 I also find a little ironic, given these games are set far in the past.

 

Their justification sounds bogus, but I don't agree with the need to push 'diversity' when designing characters in nearly every game these days.
