Assassin’s Creed 3 could have a female protagonist

In an interview to CVG, Sébastien Puel from Ubisoft has declared that Assassin’s Creed 3 could take place in the Second World War (probably in France and England) and have a female assassin as the protagonist.

“We’ve had discussions on that very topic. It could be really interesting but we’d need to find the right time period and place for that. Where would that make sense? We don’t want to just decide we want to change and have a female hero as the first inspiration is always the time period, but if you’re talking about, say, World War II the economies in England and France were run by women because the men were off fighting. So maybe in this context you were a woman in England during WWII. Why not? Nothing prevents us from doing it,” said Puel.

Creative Director Patrice Fortier, on the other hand, said that although the game was originally divided into three chapters, it could eventually go on for longer than that.  “What’s so great about Assassin’s Creed is that we can just expand and expand,” said Fortier to XBW. “I’m often asked if we’re doing a third game after ACII… I mean, we could do 35 of these”.

As a huge fan of the series, I certainly hope so.
