Original Post — Direct link

As a trans man it is extremely upsetting that Ubisoft hasn't fixed this yet. There are multiple scenes where even if you are playing as the male Eivor NPCs will still refer to you as "she". I first noticed this with a few side activities, in that case I was willing to give it a pass. Then I found it in a main quest in Essex where Alfida says "yes SHE has", this is simply unacceptable.

These moments where NPCs referred to my character with the wrong pronouns gave me flashbacks to when my family would do that to me. They would deadname me, call me a "she" and treat me as if I were a girl WHEN I AM NOT!!!!

What are you going to do about this Ubisoft?

Hey @tallydaboy123

Thanks for reaching out! After thorough investigation, the development team is unable to address specific voice line and subtitle alterations. The team must focus on issues that have a comparatively higher impact on gameplay experience.

I apologise for any disappointment caused from this.

Hello there @tallydaboy123,

Firstly, I would like to apologise for any disappointment that the previous official response within this thread has caused. I appreciate you taking the time to share your personal experiences, and to share your feedback regarding the incorrect pronoun use that can sometimes occur whilst playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

I would like to assure you that the dedicated teams have been notified about this issue in-game, and the impact that this can have on a player's gaming experience. At this stage of development, the dedicated teams have confirmed that they are unable to address specific voice line and subtitle alterations, and that there are no currently plans to implement any changes. I understand that this may not be the answer you were hoping for, and I apologise if this affects your ability to enjoy playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

This being said, we understand that misgendering and the incorrect pronoun use can be incredibly significant during the player experience - both inside and out of the game. Though there are currently no plans to update the in-game dialogue at this time, the Player Support team will continue to forward feedback shared regarding this issue to the dedicated teams for further consideration and visibility.

If there are to be any updates to the in-game dialogue, then this information will be shared on our official platforms and via patch notes published within the News & Announcements forum.

If you have any additional feedback you'd like to share, then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Thank you 🙂
