Upcoming Games Featuring Female Protagonists

Gender diversity in gaming is something that players have felt lacking for many years. Although the scales have balanced a little more in recent times, the number of women-led video games that represent female characters with the same respect as their male counterparts still leaves something to be desired.

***Gender diversity in gaming is something that gaming journalists and non gamer groups like feminist frequency who want to stir the pot have felt lacking for many years***

Fixed that for you...

Thankfully though Feminist Frequency is a dying channel and Sarkeesian is becoming more and more irrelevant with every passing day.

Good riddance to the vile rotter.

More hotties female protagonists like 2B

Petrovich2157d ago

"Gender Diversity" is nothing but another form of labeling which will eventually lead to the ruin of some Video Game titles, Franchise, and Communities just like how it destroyed the movie industry. Nobody cares if the protagonist is male or female in a game as long as its good and worth investing your time in. Nobody cares what your gender is when playing online. Infusing Ideological nonsense into video games is a form of attack by some confused and angry individuals who think that they can just jump into any industry and force their ideas into the community. Gamers are not Stupid, Genders don't exist in gaming, please don't ruin the stories and characters we come to love just because of your so-called political correctness, gaming may soon become the only place to exercise total freedom without judgment, but as early as now, we already are seeing signs of this groups slowly infiltrating our community.

Look what happened to Star Wars...

For more signs of this Ideological Nonsense, Check out South Park Episode Episode 265 and 266.

Total freedom without judgement? I cant say agree with that. That total freedom is what gives online gamers what they think is the reasoning to harass and be ugly. And no gender online? Sure there are more than plenty of men who decide to use a sexy female character in an MMO but there are still folks that only want to represent themselves in the game. It isnt as black and white as you're making it either. Last of Us 2 for example is shaping up to be an amazing game. Horizon Zero Dawn...an amazing game. Tomb Raider so far...great games...so it isnt the same as Hollywood.

People complain if even the main character of a game is anything other than a white square jawed male and I personally would like to see that changed. Other aspects of gaming development need to change too but I know Id rather see more diversity in who we portray as "heroes" rather than get token blacks or token women as you see in some titles.

"People complain if even the main character of a game is anything other than a white square jawed male", BS. Absolute and utter BS. Please show me evidence of people who complained about those same three games you just used as examples Last of Us 2, Horizon Zero Dawn, tomb Raider. you are the typical feminist. you make up BS fantasy situations in your mind and then project that onto others as if it were real and then create idiotic solutions for a problem that never existed in the first place. If you make a claim then bring evidence to back that crap up, otherwise you're just pulling those opinions out of your blowhole.

frostlatch2156d ago

lol maybe I am feminist but probably not typical. Im a south asian 5'11 male that cares for how heroes and diversity is portrayed in the media. I can talk about my friends, my family, other diverse people who Ive spoken to that say the same thing. Hollywood is the biggest offender in terms of stupid representation. I actually agree with you in that Star Wars has gone down hill. I DONT think its because Rey is the main character or because Finn is black but rather they have just done a terrible job of writing a good story and sure they may be trying too hard to pander rather than keep the original soul of the series but I dont think the character direction has been bad. People will always complain that the main character is female vs male. Just look at the hoopla over females in Battlefield V. Its honestly embarrassing. And all the hate there was over black people in Battlefield 1 lol. Even more embarrassing. Right now people are crying their eyes out over the lack of breast physics in Dead or Alive 6. I mean, call me what you want but everything Im talking about is there. *shrug*

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7211d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii11d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast10d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM10d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife10d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit10d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife10d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken22d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror22d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC23d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken22d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
