When released in Japan it was named as Assassins Creed 3 : Lady Liberation. Alongside Tomb Raider, this is one of the only games released that stars a female protagonist. This is a huge improvement in equality in the gaming industry as it was always full of predominantly male characters or a women character playing a minor role and not the avatar. The game has tackled representation of women in a positive light and are continuing to make women feel empowered and apart of a world which was male dominated. This has also befitted Ubisoft Montreal as it draws in a wider demographic of women gamers who want to play with a female protagonist.
The plot is set in a fictional history of real world events and follows the centuries-old struggle between the Assassins, who fight for peace with free will, and the Templars, who desire peace through control. The game is set between 1765 to 1777 and also features the franchises first female protagonist Aveline de Grandpré.The main portion of the game takes place in Louisiana near the end of the French and Indian War, where France's defeat caused the city of New Orleans to be taken over by the Spanish Empire. The citizens were upset over the transition from French to Spanish control and Spain's new occupation within the city. However, in 1765, the French governor Jean-Jacques Blaise d'Abbadie made a negotiation with Templar Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer to stay as governor of New Orleans. This plot was later uncovered by Aveline, who infiltrated the governor's mansion and assassinated him.
