While one would hope the gaming industry includes a diverse workforce as varied as the characters and worlds we see on the screen, that's often not the case. In fact, according to Statista , less than 21 percent of people employed in the gaming industry identify as women.
To learn more about the challenges of being a woman in a largely male field , we spoke with some of the talented women working behind the scenes on your favorite games.
Not at all. I have seen characters such as Ellie in The Last of Us and Clementine in The Walking Dead , who could be good role models for younger girls. There is also Lara Croft, whose physical portrayal has progressed massively! I remember the day I went into the computer store for a copy of Catz for the PC and bumped into Lara's mannequin and nearly had both eyes taken out.

Jedi: Fallen Order is Star Wars canon, but didn't start out as a Star Wars game - The Washington
TIME magazine called Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order " the first great Star Wars game in a decade. " Two years ago, it wasn't even a Star Wars game.
EA had just secured indefinite rights to become the steward of the Star Wars franchise in the gaming space when it acquired Respawn Entertainment, the studio founded by the creators of Call of Duty, in 2017.

Two of the three major manufacturers–Sony and Microsoft–are taking a bit of a break as they prepare to launch new hardware in 2020, and for that reason the entire holiday season has been a bit quiet on that front. It hasn't slowed the Nintendo Switch down by any means, which looks like it will be Nintendo's flagship console for some time, but Nintendo has never exactly been big on discounts.
