Take that Ubisoft! Sunset Overdrive will include playable female characters

Insomniac’s Associate Community Manager, Brandon Winfrey, tells us a tale of magic and wonder in the latest “Sunset TV” developer diary for Sunset Overdrive . By “magic,” I mean he talks about the utterly amazing traps you can set up to kill enemies (the Pyro Geyser? Hell yes!). And by “wonder,” I mean you can play as a woman in Sunset Overdrive… or a person of another nationality, or a dude in a skirt, or whatever the heck you want to play as (limited only by the character creator and your imagination).

In the video, one of the female characters sports a hooded white robe. Surely this is a friendly poke at the backlash Ubisoft received during this year’s E3 Expo over the lack of female characters in Assassin’s Creed: Unity. Watch the video… it’s great.

Sunset Overdrive will be out on October 28 for the Xbox One.
