umbasa Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 https://stevivor.com/features/interviews/assassins-creed-odyssey-gay-lesbian-straight-asexual-relationships-possible/ In the new Assassin's Creed game you can form relationships with characters. Ubisoft has decided not to restrict you in this and so - alongside straight relationships - has included gay, lesbian, bisexual... and asexual options. As part of the experience of living your own personal odyssey, you can choose to role play as an asexual character, McCoubrey pointed out. It’s very much your choice. “We’re not forcing you to do something you don’t want to do,” she said. “So if you’re somebody who’s asexual, you don’t have to engage in something like this. It’s not forced. It’s very much your choice. If you’re playing Alexios and you want to romance Soleus, go for it. You do you, man. “It was always important for me and my team to make sure that options were available for whoever wanted to pursue it. That's pretty damn cool, Ubisoft. My respect to you. Another thing to add to the visibity board. Link to post Share on other sites
umbasa Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 Oh, and I wasn't entirely sure where to post this so if a mod has a better idea of where it could be, then do please move it. Link to post Share on other sites
EmotionalAndroid Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Whoa, that's awesome! I I hope this interview will help people be more aware of asexuality. I'm so happy they explicitly mentioned it! Thank you for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites
kelico Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Ahhh, that's so cool!! I love Assassin's Creed games. That is epic. <3 I haven't been following E3, where I assume they announced it? So thank you! : ) This would probably go in World Watch, I think. *tags modly @.Lia* Link to post Share on other sites

It's something completely unexpected from Ubisoft (or any games publisher). Hopefully, this will give other publishers a kick in the rear end with regards to including elements such as this. AC games typically sell around or over 10 million copies, so that's a great big support right there. Thanks for tagging. Link to post Share on other sites
Ammy Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 This is what I would qualify as "pretty frickin' cool", if I do say so myself. Link to post Share on other sites

umbasa Posted June 14, 2018 Author Share Posted June 14, 2018 I do want to know about how well being aaexual is represented in the game. The details of the options that can be chosen. I hope it's just not ignoring romance altogether. However, there is already a positive note to this regardless of how it is represented in the final game: People on other forums are asking what does being asexual mean because of its mention in the article and game! That's pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Ldlelee Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I do believe it's time for me to invest in some video games. Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie. Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Let me guess asexual=aromantic in this, it would probably be hard to make it in a other way. It is cool either way. Link to post Share on other sites

That was my doubt when reading: "does he mean aromantic really?" Either way, it's just great for the representation Link to post Share on other sites
Kimmie. Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 It looks like maybe Cyberpunk 2077 can do something similar. https://www.gameinformer.com/e32018/2018/06/14/cyberpunk-2077-will-have-more-diverse-romance-options-than-the-witcher-3 Link to post Share on other sites
umbasa Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 I have just sent a message to Ubisoft to inquire further about how the new relationship feature accommodates us Asexuals. Hopefully, they manage to read it and respond back. Link to post Share on other sites
