Assassin's Creed Valhalla includes tattooed logo of AC Sisterhood fan movement

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will include the logo of the AC Sisterhood fan movement, which players will be able to wear as a tattoo.

Ubisoft team members working on Valhalla reached out to the AC Sisterhood group to request the use of the logo.

The AC Sisterhood is a fan initiative created over the summer in the wake of the wave of sexual assault and misconduct allegations involving Assassin’s Creed developer Ubisoft, and after reports of how the series had suffered from repeated high-level interference to minimise the role of multiple female main characters.

The group’s logo shows the Assassin’s crest entwined with an asp, a reference to Origins character Aya, the Creed’s founder. Despite her pivotal story role, Aya was one of several female characters throughout the series whose roles were reportedly diminished during production.

Today, we’re happy to reveal that the #ACSisterhood crest will be available as a tattoo in #AssassinsCreed Valhalla!

This collaboration between our community and development team brings a momentous community effort into our game. So grateful to all those who made this possible! pic.twitter.com/UibnFUwev5

Writing on Twitter, AC Sisterhood Discord founder Kulpreet Virdi said the logo’s inclusion was an idea from development staff at Montreal, and not a marketing effort to help bury recent bad headlines.

“PR didn’t come to us for this,” Virdri wrote. “This came directly from the devs. The same devs who fight for the same values that we do. This is a small act, but a BIG step in the right direction. Please don’t spread false information that this is a PR stunt because it isn’t.”
