Next Assassin's Creed Lets You Play As A Woman

According to reports by Kotaku, the next Assassin's Creed, which will be revealed later today, will be called Assassin's Creed: Syndicate and will allow you to play as a woman.  

An anonymous source who spoke to the site detailed the game, stating that you take control of two main characters; brother and sister duo Jacob and Evie who "are heavily involved in the criminal underworld of Victorian London, where the game is set."

Although no multiplayer, according to the source "you’ll be able to swap between Jacob and Evie while exploring the world between missions." If true, this is similar to Grand Theft Auto V which allowed to you move between three characters at your own will.

The concept art, which was also leaked to Kotaku, can be seen below.

This isn't the first Assassin's Creed to feature a female protagonist, as the Vita exclusive and later console version Assassin's Creed: Liberation HD featured Aveline, while the more recent Assassin's Creed: Chronicles also allow you to play as woman. 

Although not confirmed by Ubisoft, we'll have more information later today when the first trailer is officially released.
