Most importantly, Assassin’s Creed has always been developed by multicultural teams with diverse backgrounds and perspectives, which has influenced the portrayal of its characters, locations, and cultures. While we know there’s always room for improvement, we believe this new structure will allow us to ensure that diversity and representation within our teams continue to grow and reflect that of our players.”
