Other websites have been in a spiraling race for clicks regarding various companies not including every gender and/or race under the sun, but From Software is not one of the companies that will serve as bait.

In an interview with Dengeki Online, Bloodborne Game Director Hidetaka Miyazaki confirmed that ladies can murder and be murdered, too:

“Female characters can also be chosen as the protagonist, and there’s even facial customization. Personally, I think that with RPGs and even tactical RPGs, character customization is one of the most enjoyable aspects.”

Miyazaki also confirmed that the facial customization will be rather robust, along the lines of Demon’s Souls. There are some new features, but he wouldn’t talk about those just yet.

So there you go, readers, you’ll be able to make a female avatar of your choice, and you’ll be able to watch her sink giant swords into people’s heads!
