I was NOT expecting to hear @nolan_north as Desmond in audio clips on Layla's computer but it was so nice and also a bit emotional. It provided some very welcomed, yet sad, insights into his character along with Ezio's

Nolan North has been the voice of Desmond Miles ever since the original Assassin’s Creed released back in 2007, right up to a favourite of mine with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag in 2013.

Kaitlyn revealed that an audio clip of Desmond Miles can be found on a computer belonging to the character Layla during the campaign.

Kaitlyn said: “it was so nice and also a bit emotional. It provided some very welcomed, yet sad, insights into his character along with Ezio’s.”

What a nice Easter egg for Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla! Have you come across this yet?

When I saw the file said his name I actually hesitated before pressing play. Don't know why lol But it was so cool hearing his voice. Desmond is different from most other Nolan roles since he isn't a big jokester.
