Gay assassins creed
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla may give you the option to cocktail other Vikings under the table, but does it grant you the option to be gay? Now that’s what we want to know. After all, since Ubisoft has had a rather sketchy past when it comes to LGBT+ representation, who doesn’t want to know?
Well, while we can’t promise that Ubisoft won’t construct DLC that’ll pressure Eivor into a heterosexual relationship and make them create, we do realize that in the base game, there are options that will let you smooch other Vikings – and possess a fondle of their longswords too… Don’t judge us.
That’s right, queer romance is ready in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Though if you’re expecting something as steamy as the sex scenes you see in Baldur’s Gate 3, then you’re going to be very disappointed.
But don’t worry, there’s still a lot to love about the romance options that you can locate while wandering the world. Some are hunters, some will try to refreshment you under the table, and some just really yearn to bed you. Even for just one night.
From our very limited period with Valhalla, it looks as though i

Musk weighed in while responding to X user Ian Miles Cheong. Cheong wrote, “Should Ubisoft delay Assassin’s Creed Shadows in response to widespread backlash over the game’s injection of DEI? The game is so thoroughly woke that it features a dark gay protagonist depicted as a ‘real historical samurai’ in Japan. Offensive beyond belief. No one asked for this.”
Musk replied, “DEI kills art.”

Assassin's Creed Shadows Was Always Going To Be Queer
Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the newest instalment of the series slated for November 12, will once again include same-sex romances and have “more developed relationships”.
In fact, Shadows seems to be going further with this than Ubisoft ever has before. One could say that in previous games, romanceable characters were playersexual, and the relationships you had with them weren’t always intentionally queer relationships crafted for that specific purpose since the dual protagonists weren’t separate people but gender options. Since Naoe and Yasuke will have romances distinct to their individually designed characters, the queer representation feels more intentional.
As anybody paying attention to the discourse around the game could have predicted, the equal conservative sect of gamers who have been angry about an Assassin’s Creed set in Japan having a Black protagonist is now also upset about its protagonists having the option to have same-sex relationships.
Assassin’s Creed Has Always Had Queerness
This is, quite frankly, baffling. Assassin’s Creed has had
Can you be gay in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? That’s the million dollar ask, isn’t it? While previous games haven’t exactly strayed away from including homosexual identities, they’ve often been quite the opposite of ‘show, don’t tell.’ For example, Jacob Frye was confirmed as bisexual after the events of the game by Ubisoft’s Tumblr account, rather than in the game itself.
So, what does that tell about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Well, let’s start by saying that despite entity nominated in GLAAD for its LGBT+ representation, Odyssey isn’t as incredible as some may think. But before we get into that, let’s answer the question you’re here for.
Can you be gay in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey? Yes, yes you can. You can also be pansexual, or even a woman loving woman. It gives you the options to play however you want. You may play your Alexios or Kassandra as asexual, or just someone who is sex-repulsed in general, but want to get to know someone more romantically. There are options – 14 of them to be exact, if you’re not counting DLC.
However, it’s not as black and white as that. While
