*** This has not been helped by comments following the recent E3 presentation that it would be too much work, essentially, to implement female character models for the four-player mode. The argument ''isn't'' about representation in terms of ''characters present on screen and that we interact with'', it's an argument about ''which characters we can play as'', which is why people are getting annoyed about '''four''' generic-looking white male assassins rather than a decent mix, ''especially'' since one of the most prominent real-life assassins in Revolutionary France was a ''woman''.

** ''FIFA'' and ''Call of Duty'' deal with soldiers and professional football which has, except for very recently, been a male dominated field so they have more room to get away with it than AC which is a series dedicated to fictional adventurers interacting in an alternate history composed of {{Magitek}} and easily disproven conspiracy theories.

There's also the fact that yearly franchises like ''Call of Duty'', ''Battlefield'' or ''FIFA'' (And fans also point out how ''AC'' is still ''way'' more representative of minorities than those games) don't have main female characters, why should AC be treated different, especially when not only has the franchise had numerous powerful female characters, but they're judging off of a four minute trailer?

If true, then Wii U owners may not be completely left behind by Ubisoft. However, this game (Which was rumoured to be called "Assassin's Creed Comet") did not show at E3.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Connor fans wish that the game was about him helping the French Revolution, or that he was one of the Assassins in the co-op missions.

*** There are semi-persistent rumors, however, that a separate Assassin's Creed game may be in the making for previous gen consoles that likely will involve a Wii U port (the Wii U has been described as being "between generations" in terms of power, but ports from seventh generation hardware are easier as it involves no downgrading).
