Assassin's Creed artist smuggles complaint into comic asking if 'someone can explain how to write this shit'

Did you know that Assassin's Creed's Isu—the First Civilisation species that occasionally pops up to utter portents at you—have a whole constructed language that Ubisoft made for them? Me neither, since I stopped even trying to understand what's going on with that series and its metaplot by AC3, but Ubisoft's writers and artists have had to deal with the Isu language for years now, and at least one of them is less-than-thrilled about it: Hidden messages inserted into a recent AC comic show an artist's frustration at having to write in the made-up tongue.

"If someone can explain how to write this shit it would be much appreciated," reads an ancient and mysterious Isu tablet uncovered in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla—The Converts, a graphic novel which released last week. Except that's not quite accurate: A direct transliteration actually spells out "If someose as esplais how to write this shit it would be muc appreiated". Hey, second languages are hard, and it turns out that maybe not all of Ubisoft's workers are fully trained up in the linguistic nuances of the AC series' precursor race.
