The Ubisoft developed and published Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation has won the 2013 Writers Guild of America Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing award.

The nominations included 007 Legends, Assassin’s Creed 3, Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Halo 4 and Uncharted: Golden Abyss, according to PlayerAttack.

Canadian writer Jill Murray and Ubisoft Montreal developer Richard Farrese are credited with the script of Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation.

The game is the first in the series to feature a female protagonist and has been launched on the PlayStation Vita handheld from Sony.

The Writer’s Guild of America award is seen as a prestigious one, but script creators need to be members in order to get a nomination, which excludes an important number of titles from the selection process.

Ubisoft has confirmed that more Assassin’s Creed video games will be launched in the coming years.
