Nolan North is one of the most prolific voice actors of all time, lending his voice to hundreds of video games and animated series, but he didn’t realize a character was supposed to be dead. That’s mainly because Ubisoft told him he’s still “technically” alive.
North had voiced Desmond Miles (among a few more characters) for the Assassin’s Creed series. Desmond had been in five games, until the character’s death in Assassin’s Creed 3. It wasn’t until he had gone online and came across fan reactions following the game’s release that he was aware of this, however.
“That technically was Desmond’s death scene, and I didn’t know it,” North told Fall Damage. “I found out on Twitter. ‘Are you upset Desmond’s dead?’ And I’m thinking, what? Because there’s no ‘Argh!’ There’s nothing that you’d expect from a main character’s death, although the good people at Ubisoft have told me that he’s not technically dead.”
It’s great to see Nolan North discussing his character’s status in the Assassin’s Creed universe! His contributions to gaming are truly impressive, and it’s always exciting to hear more about beloved characters. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
Absolutely! Nolan North’s insights really add depth to the lore of the series. It’s fascinating how the continuity in the Assassin’s Creed universe keeps fans engaged and speculating about character fates!
the characters can continue to influence the story even after their apparent demise. Nolan’s portrayal brings such a unique energy that keeps fans engaged with the franchise. It’s interesting to think about how this opens up possibilities for future storylines!
