But, even then she still is not Odin and never will she be Odin. She is Eivor Varinsdottir (Varin-Daugther).

What a lot of people don’t know about vikings, is that they were actually quite progressive when it came to gender equality and that their culture was a unique one at that.
@@BabaAlex505 They weren't, this is a modern myth trying to project modern sensibilities on people from the past. Their views on homosexuality were different from that of followers of Abrahamic religions but still nothing like our idea of tolerance. In viking culture, a man penetrating another man was not seen as a shameful act, rather an act of domination. In some cases warriors would sexually assault a defeated enemy to utterly demasculate and humiliate him. Being the one who was penetrated was seen as utterly shameful. So no, homosexuality, as per our modern understanding, was not accepted.
No. She's built like a man and moves like one. They just stuck a vaguely female and androgynous head onto a slightly smaller male body. In the game she uses the exact same skeleton rig and animations that were made for the male protagonist.
@@edenarchive4150 Eivor is canonically female. Being big and having a strong body is just genetics, and moving like other male warriors fits her story and character as someone who was orphaned at a very young age and was adopted by a viking king. She went through the same training as the men of the clan, it makes sense she moves like a man. When you play as the male form of Eivor you're only putting on what the Animus thinks Eivor looked like (in confusion because of the different DNA she has).

People really be goin in full circle huh. First they bitched that the females in videogames were too over-sexualized and feminine and now they're bitching that she's too masculine. Make up your minds already. Edit: I guess my sense of humor is different from others because this was a joke. But people need to realize that both Eivor's are essentially the same person with the same background and training. Their bodies are naturally going to look and move similar because of it. She's also wearing armor and furs which are made to protect, not to look feminine.

But of course, the sexist guy gamers don't wanna play as a female cause it makes you less of a man. Which is why ubisoft gave us the gender option. It's the same thing for Odyssey. Only reason why Alexios is a playable character is cause of the sexist guy gamers. But we all know Kassandra is the cannon one in Odyssey. And for Valhalla, cannon Eivor is female, not male😎👌🏻.
anandu ap Ac Black Flag wasn’t really an AC game in my opinion. It was 70% pirates and 30% assassins because Edward didn’t become an assassin until near the end of the game. It was all pirates and money. The assassins were just side characters in the background. Plus, people bought the game for the ship battles, not the running around and stealth segments which is what AC was more about. Great pirate game, ok AC game.
"We're getting criticized about not being inclusive after the report about us deliberately removing female protagonists from our games now and in the past" "Quick. Attach the female Eivor head on the male dude's model and render the exact same trailer out again. That'll appease the PC police."
Actually they just fired higher ups that were under flak for forcing male characters (the reason why there was almost 0 promotional content for female Eivor) so it makes sense for them to showoff that that is done
Hmm... it's almost like ubisoft panicked about the female representation scandal and released a sloppy remake of the same trailer with janky face animations and worse voice acting; that "Odin is with us" was rough
@@madcyborg1822 That doesn't mean they were all psychopathic barbarians who killed everything they saw, as the king is describing them as. There have been much, much worse people throughout history.
Whatever you guys say Female Eivor is actually the real Eivor. The male Eivor is just to make fair for those who love male protagonist. The female is the real one.
Pretty clear if you actually play the game that the character meant was female and then they added the male so the fans won't get pissy. So much better voice acting. Not to mention that Eivor is a female name. Choosing male will be weird especially for people in Scandinavian countries. Kind of like John Marston in RDR being called Jessica Marston the entire game lol.
@ABCDEFG Trailers are made long after they start working on the game, not to mention writing the script. So the game can be created for a woman, yet the trailer can have a man. ;)
@@officialomatu8766 You mean them presenting a trailer with a male version first? There can be multiple reasons for it, my best bet is that's what the marketing team decided...
@@iszatso But they still would/did. If that was their goal coddling to gamers they would've just not release the trailer for the female model. Or they wouldn't have even introduced a female model.
@@Lepo1993 I didn't know you can change during gameplay, I thought it was just at the start. Even if it was, you don't have to do it. Is the game forcing you to do it?
@Freak159753 the christian definition (modern stereotype) of a woman wasnt enforced onto vikings lol. do you honestly expect a female warrior to walk like a victorias secret model?
Smidgee How so? It’s the same thing, but with more exaggerated animations, the way I see it is that the further they go back in time the more rpgish gets, in truth assassin’s creed always been a rpg.
@@tritonk1759 Well the original plan was to remove the whole RPG Gamestyle and use the male Character as Eret Varinsson. But then Odyssey made a Huge success and Alexios/Kassandra quickly became fan-favorites and the heads at Ubi wanted to try the whole RPG Gameplay again. So they got a last minute Voice Actress and changed the Dialogue slightly which is why sometimes male Eivor is referred to as she and Sigurd calls Eivor no matter if your playing with fem or Male brother in Oxenaford when he introduces Eivor to the guy who’s in charge and some other dialogue flaws
I am not sure why people are hating on the game in both story and style, but I for one am excited to see how this pans out. People based on odyssey because there was no actual hidden blade in a sense. But they ended up loving it for the most part. I feel this title will be no different....depending on Ubisofts execution of this tactic. All hail the vikings!
@@ridhaaisaacs7870 there is no why, female's in this time we're not warriors so it's nice of ubisoft to put in a female character at all, people may be unhappy about it being 'sexist' but tbf females were not warriors at this point in time anyway
@@jtsmphotography Uh yes there were lmfao, there were countless Viking women warriors. And nah we’re not gonna be grateful if the character model is literally just the male one but without a beard. It’s just fuckin lazy. It’s not nothing to do with sexism, it’s just sloppiness.
@@natalialicona5435 I don’t think they meant ACIII: Liberation. Like an entry where the main character is female, not the gender choice Ubisoft has been doing lately.
Everyone in the comments doesn’t understand what he is saying, he said that if he killed eivor and survived the fight he would probably never be able to walk again
The shot and crescendo of ezios theme as Odin turned into a raven will always have a special place for me ❤❤ I’m of Irish Scottish Cornish and Germanic Scandinavian (Germany and Sweden) descent so this particular assassins creed was very special to this pagan girl ❤❤ oh and Odin is actually pronounced Oh-th like the beginning of “the” and then in ✨✨
Yeah, it's kinda lazy. But it still works in my opinion. I don't think it's nearly as bad as it could have been, plus the body type kinda works given that it's pretty much obscured by the giant fur coat and armor.
@Armstrong Canon They didn't say anything like that. Assassin's Creed has male protagonists because men sell better in these roles, they fit better in these roles and are more badass than females. It's simple as that. It's not a downplaying of anyone, it's just a business decision. You know, Ubisoft is a corporation, and the corporation is supposed to make as much money as possible.
Also, for those complaining that this was lazy. I disagree. She's the female version for the main character and this just shows shes equal to him. Much better to do this than have some video of her making food or crafting, only for people to draw comparisons up and say it is sexist! I like the anything he can do she can do too thing. Not better, just too.
ANd of course she would have wider shoulders as one is used from modern day females....not many modern day females train to fight all kinds of people with all kinds of weaponry and wear armor but if they do you can see it.
Love this one more than the first trailer because they included the music from the original soundtrack that was more fitting. I love Wardruna & the series Vikings. I more than stoked when I saw the interview that Wardruna was confirmed for the soundtrack of AC Valhalla.
@Matt Collins I can see my grandpa’s face on my Mom more so on my Aunt, if a descendent from a family member could look alike despite gender, probably an alternate version of the same person to.
@@gabhunter6377 technically not true female eivor is referred to as the actual events sure you can have a male playthrough but female eivor in assassin's creed lore is the actual canon
It’s not that female leads don’t sell. Ubisoft is marketing this game in particular to have male Eivor as the main character. If they had chosen to put this trailer out first rather than male Eivor. And have female Eivor on the cover instead. Then the reaction would be much different.
I mean to be fair, I'm playing as male Eivor regardless...his voice acting is better and I'm going for the more historically accurate context....eventhough assassins creed has never really been historically accurate
Look who we have here, another internet marketing experts who knows better than Ubisoft marketing specialists whether chicks sell worse than guys in video games. xD Put a clown masks on your faces.
@JB JG No, I do like the female voice but the line itself sounded very bleak compared to the one in the first trailer (which gave me goosebumps actually) it was the matter of how poorly the line was delivered which made it underwhelming.
@@astronotics531 I don't understand how my sentence can be so misunderstood, I invite you to watch both trailers with eivor as a female & male, compare the sequence where you see their bodies & hands, and maybe you'll see what I mean
not 100% sure why theres so many dislikes am guessing due to the female version of the character Female vikings are a real historical thing also known as Sheild Maidens
She looks great! Idk why everyone is being so negative about it. Unlike past assassins creed games where for the different gender it would be a sibling they are making her the formals version of Eivor. She looks great!! Not like a man and I don’t think it’s lazy. This is coming from a female who every chance I get in the assassins creed games I play as the women.

You mean the Auditore* family smh
@@treemane0 kenway was more interesting
@@Kai-ps8lu I meant to correct his wording
@@venmen523 I meant to say wording
anandu ap Ac Black Flag wasn’t really an AC game in my opinion. It was 70% pirates and 30% assassins because Edward didn’t become an assassin until near the end of the game. It was all pirates and money. The assassins were just side characters in the background. Plus, people bought the game for the ship battles, not the running around and stealth segments which is what AC was more about. Great pirate game, ok AC game.
Always get goosebumps watching this
"We're getting criticized about not being inclusive after the report about us deliberately removing female protagonists from our games now and in the past"
"Quick. Attach the female Eivor head on the male dude's model and render the exact same trailer out again. That'll appease the PC police."
Actually they just fired higher ups that were under flak for forcing male characters (the reason why there was almost 0 promotional content for female Eivor) so it makes sense for them to showoff that that is done
Could have made the fighting style different depending on gender instead. E.g. female protagonist is a badass shield maiden.
@@SwimmingBird27 there's no fighting difference between the 2. You can be a shield maiden if you like, or a dual axe monster
That's the whole point of this trailer. Plus Ubisoft is in damage control mode. So expect more stuff like this in the future.
Do we know which games were going to have chicks as the lead? I’m curious
Hmm... it's almost like ubisoft panicked about the female representation scandal and released a sloppy remake of the same trailer with janky face animations and worse voice acting; that "Odin is with us" was rough
It is a soundtrack trailer
Accurate lol
@@astronotics531 basically right lol
How? How does this trailer mean anything more than just the same thing as the first trailer, but with a female?
@False account It doesn't
i love how the king says all these negative things about the vikings as the vikings are doing the opposite
but irl the vikings were war criminals
@@madcyborg1822 never know, they could of been both
@@Forever-im5gw their crimes have literally been recorded in history so *shrug*.
@@madcyborg1822 That doesn't mean they were all psychopathic barbarians who killed everything they saw, as the king is describing them as. There have been much, much worse people throughout history.
@@Dante-fb9ej yes but most of them were barbarians and pagans, just like the anglo saxons. Heck most of the western civilizations were barbarians.
She looks fuckin AMAZING
Whatever you guys say Female Eivor is actually the real Eivor. The male Eivor is just to make fair for those who love male protagonist. The female is the real one.
Nah they both are the real one
The male just feels more historically accurate
Female Eivor sounds like a meathead honestly 🤷🏻♀️ male eivor sounds much more natural
@@nestormelendez9005nah it’s actually canon that it’s female eivor
@@gabestearman7626 nah they both in the game so both are canon
Who remembers when Assassins Creed was centred around being an assassin?
Yeah
Those days
Me
Assassins creed is becoming like the fast furious always changing😂
remember when you didn't feel like you were slogging through mud everytime you ran?
@@TheMeta141 truu
Pretty clear if you actually play the game that the character meant was female and then they added the male so the fans won't get pissy. So much better voice acting. Not to mention that Eivor is a female name. Choosing male will be weird especially for people in Scandinavian countries. Kind of like John Marston in RDR being called Jessica Marston the entire game lol.
@ABCDEFG Trailers are made long after they start working on the game, not to mention writing the script. So the game can be created for a woman, yet the trailer can have a man. ;)
@@raz5240 Ok but why first release the male one then the female one?
@@officialomatu8766 You mean them presenting a trailer with a male version first? There can be multiple reasons for it, my best bet is that's what the marketing team decided...
@@officialomatu8766 so that Gamers wouldn’t get all pissy and whine about it
@@iszatso But they still would/did. If that was their goal coddling to gamers they would've just not release the trailer for the female model. Or they wouldn't have even introduced a female model.
AC Fans: "Ubisoft you are burying yourself"
Ubisoft: "We just started!"
How is this burying?
@@stormrevenant its not, dude is like whoring
@@stormrevenant is it normal when you can change gender of your character during the game? Ubisoft simply repel old AC fans with their tolerance.
Lepo for me it’s not the characters it’s the gameplay
@@Lepo1993 I didn't know you can change during gameplay, I thought it was just at the start.
Even if it was, you don't have to do it. Is the game forcing you to do it?
I hear the sounds of "Ezios Family" and it feels like coming home.
I am ready for the next round!
For the Vikings!
2:26 Ezio's theme guys I got goosebumps
She should have had her own unique trailer because all I see is the male movement and walk wtf
Uhh do you know what vikings are? What part of viking culture makes you think feminine traits are a thing?
Maybe they didn't have the budget for it.
Because that's the definition of a female to ubisoft
@Freak159753 yes women who weren't vikings. I guarantee you that the few female vikings that existed didn't walk around oozing femininity.
@Freak159753 the christian definition (modern stereotype) of a woman wasnt enforced onto vikings lol. do you honestly expect a female warrior to walk like a victorias secret model?
you: ugh female Eivor is just Eivor without facial hair
me, an intellectual: give female Eivor a beard you cowards
YES
how does it feel to be the only commentor on this video with taste
::snuffs out candle::
Ah... M'lord... I uh... Still here, sire.
Omg, her eyes are so beautiful, just like Lady Brienne's from Got
She’s infinitely more badass than the game version. Doesn’t look like the same person.
Man, I can't bring myself to care about this series anymore.
Then why the hell are you even here then? Leave and don't come back.
The gameplay preview are weak AF
@@Kagetora- It's called, I can't critic something without at least seeing it...
Shikikan -sama shut up
Same, it's literally the same game as Odyssey with a Vikings re-paint. This series has gone down the dump and there is no imagination anymore
>looks at the dislikes
>"yup it's gamer time" 😎
Gamers when they realise women exist
@@BigJunnySoprano69 Gamers love women in their games not just that kind of woman...
If they were this lazy with the trailer, I don't want to imagine how little effort they put into the game
@@venmen523 so? It looks the same with new combat animations and thats about it
@@venmen523 Same as the last two games, which is so far from what assassins creed was.
Smidgee How so? It’s the same thing, but with more exaggerated animations, the way I see it is that the further they go back in time the more rpgish gets, in truth assassin’s creed always been a rpg.
This is a false account no...no it hasn’t. You cannot look at Altair and tell me he was an rpg character
Riastradh I mean, yeah he kind of is, with the whole medieval setting and the historical events, that sounds like a pretty basic rpg game.
I'm a girl and Eivor is literally my role model
Did anyone else noticed that when Evior saw Ordin it looked like Ezio seeing Altair
Goosebumps
Better than the male Eivor version
Canonically Eivor is female.
@@tritonk1759 Well the original plan was to remove the whole RPG Gamestyle and use the male Character as Eret Varinsson. But then Odyssey made a Huge success and Alexios/Kassandra quickly became fan-favorites and the heads at Ubi wanted to try the whole RPG Gameplay again. So they got a last minute Voice Actress and changed the Dialogue slightly which is why sometimes male Eivor is referred to as she and Sigurd calls Eivor no matter if your playing with fem or Male brother in Oxenaford when he introduces Eivor to the guy who’s in charge and some other dialogue flaws
@@tritonk1759canon they are both
2:25 - Does anyone else hear this rendition of Ezio’s Family?
yes but imo the best version of ezio's family theme was in ac odyssey's inventory screen
2:24 This part brings my memories back..
Ubisoft made both Kassandra and Female Eivor canon but focused most of the marketing on their male counterparts.
Makes sense.
Male Eivor would have been better tbh
The male isn’t Eivor it’s Havi Eivor is a female name
How to stop game devs from milking a franchise
Stop buying it
How do you refund?
no :)
I am not sure why people are hating on the game in both story and style, but I for one am excited to see how this pans out. People based on odyssey because there was no actual hidden blade in a sense. But they ended up loving it for the most part. I feel this title will be no different....depending on Ubisofts execution of this tactic. All hail the vikings!
1:22 "But... There is one they fear"
In their tounge he is Dovahkiin
DRAGONBORN FUS RO DAH
People really this mad over a character and a trailer. Smh
lol im wondering the same thing. I like it
Lol don’t act like you’re above everyone, try and understand why
@@ridhaaisaacs7870 there is no why, female's in this time we're not warriors so it's nice of ubisoft to put in a female character at all, people may be unhappy about it being 'sexist' but tbf females were not warriors at this point in time anyway
@@jtsmphotography Uh yes there were lmfao, there were countless Viking women warriors.
And nah we’re not gonna be grateful if the character model is literally just the male one but without a beard. It’s just fuckin lazy. It’s not nothing to do with sexism, it’s just sloppiness.
@@Flump-Master the game also looks really bad honestly, it comes out in a month, what you see is what you get
Can't wait for the day when there is a solo female lead in a new AC game and see how these haters feel then.
It already happened tho
Ha the salt is strong with this one.
@@natalialicona5435 I don’t think they meant ACIII: Liberation. Like an entry where the main character is female, not the gender choice Ubisoft has been doing lately.
Its simple, they just won't buy the game lol.
Dev 1: Should we change her body to feel more feminine?
Dev 2: No, just put a female face on the Male body. No one will notice.
Omg yes like put some more effort in your games lmao
She is a SHIELD MAIDEN she is SUPPOSED TO BE MASCULINE YOU CLOWNS
@@marshallcole2000 I know, what do they expect some princess looking character?
@@marshallcole2000 ikr, these people only complain about new games that comes out lol
@@marshallcole2000 I don't care. I disapprove presence of strong women as a proud sexist. Got a problem?
2:26 anyone noticed the music
Oh yeah. Chills.
Yeah
3:01 that guy is likely never walking again if he survived
Survived? The dude took a hidden blade through his skull. Pretty sure he's dead. XD
Not sure you can survive a 10 inch blade through your eye
Everyone in the comments doesn’t understand what he is saying, he said that if he killed eivor and survived the fight he would probably never be able to walk again
all these precious gamers getting angry because ‘WOmEn iN mY GaMe = PoLItIcaL’
@IVAR THE GAMER BONELESS 🚨^^Gamer Moment^^🚨™
Having Abby in TLOU2 was enough, I dont wanna see her in Assasins Creed...😭
The shot and crescendo of ezios theme as Odin turned into a raven will always have a special place for me ❤❤ I’m of Irish Scottish Cornish and Germanic Scandinavian (Germany and Sweden) descent so this particular assassins creed was very special to this pagan girl ❤❤ oh and Odin is actually pronounced Oh-th like the beginning of “the” and then in ✨✨
Óðinn's name is pronounced with the Ð sound in Old Norse, however, this trailer is in English, where his name is anglicized to include a hard D sound
Her trailer is so much better because of the song
WTF AFTER CHECKING THE TRAILER THEY JUST LITERALLY CHANGED HER FACE LMAO.
Sounds different too
They only shaved him lmao
AND THE SONG LMAO
M. yanuwarta Panani that's what mean, Sounds different.
Yeah, it's kinda lazy. But it still works in my opinion. I don't think it's nearly as bad as it could have been, plus the body type kinda works given that it's pretty much obscured by the giant fur coat and armor.
*Ubisoft gets ripped on for downplaying female roles
“Release the barely noticeable different trailer from the original and out female in the title!
Except they don't downplay female roles
what
If you think they had time to do this trailer from the drama to releasing this trailer, you're delusional
@Armstrong Canon They didn't say anything like that.
Assassin's Creed has male protagonists because men sell better in these roles, they fit better in these roles and are more badass than females. It's simple as that.
It's not a downplaying of anyone, it's just a business decision.
You know, Ubisoft is a corporation, and the corporation is supposed to make as much money as possible.
@@Lukail90 men arent more badass, you're just sexist lmao
AC trailers never fail to deliver. Love it!
Another fighter who fights against a boss, who's having a hard time and finally manages to kill him?
what a surprise, what an originality!
lmfao @ the comments being like “woman look strong have muscle??? why does woman not look like barbie???!!!”
Also, for those complaining that this was lazy. I disagree. She's the female version for the main character and this just shows shes equal to him. Much better to do this than have some video of her making food or crafting, only for people to draw comparisons up and say it is sexist! I like the anything he can do she can do too thing. Not better, just too.
ANd of course she would have wider shoulders as one is used from modern day females....not many modern day females train to fight all kinds of people with all kinds of weaponry and wear armor but if they do you can see it.
I’m getting less interested in this game everyday.
s a m e
Weird it's the opposite for me can't wait for it an AC game were I can play as a Viking and pick up cats 10/10 IGN from that alone
You two are soooooo lesss and let downs
Me too...instead of wasting time adding that mannish female character...they should have spent time making the game run at 60fps.
Especially when Ghost of Tsushima exist and is basically a way better Assassin's Creed game.
Female Evior is canon
The male version is technically just Havi(Odin) in asgard arch of the game.
True funny how everyone thinks the male character is Eivor the name Eivor is a female name
Love this one more than the first trailer because they included the music from the original soundtrack that was more fitting.
I love Wardruna & the series Vikings. I more than stoked when I saw the interview that Wardruna was confirmed for the soundtrack of AC Valhalla.
Cap
Woke
This is just Male Character,
WITH Beauty APP
Well, they are the same character after all.
@Matt Collins That’s something you can not say with 100% certainty unless you have a alternate dimension traveling machine.
@Matt Collins I can see my grandpa’s face on my Mom more so on my Aunt, if a descendent from a family member could look alike despite gender, probably an alternate version of the same person to.
Masterpiece
People when they realize, this is the canon trailer as canon Eivor is a female.
Sadly. Magnus Brun deserves better for his work
@@MrRaxicorniopholus he was great, as odin, Eivor, and varin
For me male eivor is the canon not the female version
@@gabhunter6377 male Eivor is canon but not as Eivor, but as he odin, male is odin, female is eivor
@@gabhunter6377 technically not true female eivor is referred to as the actual events sure you can have a male playthrough but female eivor in assassin's creed lore is the actual canon
I feel like they are forced to make ac games now
it's pretty obvious
there's plenty of cool history for them to cover though
Its just the title now
I get the same feeling too. Its like they do it only to get money for rent. No more real passion and ingenuity anymore
@@nsubugakasozi7101 No more passion? Dude look at AC Origins. Tell me how that game didn't have passion in it.
See the dislikes and comments is exactly why Ubisoft believes female leads doesn’t sell
It’s not that female leads don’t sell. Ubisoft is marketing this game in particular to have male Eivor as the main character. If they had chosen to put this trailer out first rather than male Eivor. And have female Eivor on the cover instead. Then the reaction would be much different.
female lead doesnt sell???? Ever heard of horizon dawn & tomb raider???
Nik Amir Haikal Nik Razali I’m not saying it doesn’t
I mean to be fair, I'm playing as male Eivor regardless...his voice acting is better and I'm going for the more historically accurate context....eventhough assassins creed has never really been historically accurate
Look who we have here, another internet marketing experts who knows better than Ubisoft marketing specialists whether chicks sell worse than guys in video games. xD
Put a clown masks on your faces.
That "Odin is with us" line was not as impactful as the main trailer one, damn man I miss the original AC games now...
@JB JG No, I do like the female voice but the line itself sounded very bleak compared to the one in the first trailer (which gave me goosebumps actually) it was the matter of how poorly the line was delivered which made it underwhelming.
Can't believe they just replaced the head hahaha might as well not do anything at this point
she doesn't need to be oversexualized my man
@@ScamOne who said anything about sexualization? Her body is literally thr same as the male charafters body
@@ScamOne who talked about oversexualization ? Do you see kassandra's head on a 1:1 body of alexios ?
@@boskojal1681 they are not two different character, they are the same. They share the same DNA, so they give you just the choice : female or male
@@astronotics531 I don't understand how my sentence can be so misunderstood, I invite you to watch both trailers with eivor as a female & male, compare the sequence where you see their bodies & hands, and maybe you'll see what I mean
not 100% sure why theres so many dislikes am guessing due to the female version of the character
Female vikings are a real historical thing also known as Sheild Maidens
i think its more the fact they reused the same trailer... rather then the female,
This game makes you really feel like a sword
Putting axe on friends cheast
Everyone else fighting and dieing in the back ground
2:25 to 3:15 I noticed that it was Ezio's Family leading into the main Theme for Valhalla.
Pretty nice collab. 💯🔥💜🤟🏽
At 2:25, you can hear a variation of Ezio's Family in the background.
She looks great! Idk why everyone is being so negative about it. Unlike past assassins creed games where for the different gender it would be a sibling they are making her the formals version of Eivor. She looks great!! Not like a man and I don’t think it’s lazy. This is coming from a female who every chance I get in the assassins creed games I play as the women.
They literally just removed facial hair and wrinkles.
After finishing Ghost of Tsushima, playing through this is going to feel very underwhelming.
Gawd I hope your wrong. But it's a tall order man. GoT was the best assassin creed I've ever played
@@montyspit7045 couldn't agree more
Not really, combat here will be more arcady so it will be a different experience but not necessarily worse
Monty's Pit how was it the best assassin’s creed if it’s not a assassin’s creed?
@@thisisafalseaccount105 Because it feels like an Assassin's Greed.
She is a BAD chick man, plus she is A LOT more intimidating than the male in my opinion. Fricken love her, awesome character
Yea true, Kassandra was better in odyssey but male Eivor is too soft for a viking warrior.
"Creating different armor for different gender is troublesome and we didn't have the budget for it"
Make identical character just without facial hair
Hm. Yeah, essentially. That's the real reason. Much easier to reuse armours and animations when the two characters are identical.
Why did they removed the background music "Soul of a Man" from the trailer? It feels far less cinematic if shaved Eivor isn't enough already.
This looks great I love it
man the trailer gives me chills
Then watch the original trailer(male version) it will blow your mind
@@adityaprakash3555 It's literally the same thing with different music
