I will not come out of my source unless they decide to come out and show their receipts, but I trust them and believe what they told me and showed me. The team really wanted she-Eivor to be the star of this game but they were straight up told no.
No. To. Women.— Sebastian Dell’Aria 🌃 (@Memento_Gallery) August 4, 2020
seiiki DellAria, an Assassin&s Creed fan, made a number of allegations about Assassin’s Creed Valhalla in a post on Twitter. According to Seiiki, one of Ashraf Ismail’s ‘victims’ told him about some of the conversations with Ismail. According to these conversations, game developers wanted assassins Creed Valhalla’s main character to be female, but senior executives refused. They insisted that there should also be a male version of Eivor, and that the game would not sell much if it was only female. They insisted that the marketing campaign should also go over the male character. Seiiki also says that we saw Eivor’s female character long after Assassin’s Creed Valhalla was announced.
The game developers wanted the main character of the game to be a woman, but senior executives strongly rejected it. What they cited as the reason was that the female character would drop sales of the game. Apparently, in order to be a female character in the game, there had to be a male character first.
Seiiki said afterwards: “Dont confuse who to direct your anger about the sales anxiety and male-oriented sexist campaigns that Cs choice of gender creates above some of the female character preferences. Don’t install developers on social media accounts. It connects those above them.
Seiiki said that after saying these things, he would keep his source secret and would not say anything unless he wanted to reveal his identity.
Some of the messages toSeiiki describing the incident are as follows:

“I asked in one of our last conversations withAsh, ‘Shouldn’t Eivor be a woman? And he told me everything. Then he underlined that Eivor was a woman’s name. He cited this as proof that the main character of the game would be a woman. But senior executives said they wanted the character to be male… They insisted that the main character be a alpha male figure hahaha.“
