This game introduced me to the single greatest insult ever “MALAKA!”

[penmumble]

I met Michael Antonakos completely by chance at a bar in London and he was the nicest, kindest, most sincere dude. He was gracious enough to really chat to me and my brother and when we asked for his autograph he looked so moved. Absolute legend of a guy!

[basement-dwellingvirgin]

My favorite line from Kassandra: "Oh, he screamed. But not in agony"

[keatonwastaken]

Kassandra's voice is really unique tbh. its deep and sounds strong like her character.

[kobzster]

Much respect to Ubisoft for actually using real life actors of Greek descent. Ubisoft has always been great at authenticity and they spend a lot of time and effort to make games that respect history but also serve as great entertainment.

[patricksavage]

I was wondering why Alexios sounded so much like Ezio. He took the most inspiration from him.

[kabukiuchiha]

Basically Alexio is already a Spartan who is a Spartan 🤔

[AurelionSass]

Ooff, she's pretty even in real life xD

[chillimack]

Kassandra's face is so expressive, and the voice is so perfect, it really brings the character to life. She performs it in a way that isn't obvious, and acts it out so well. Some voice actors can ruin a character, and some can save bad writing, but she totally nails what was already some solid stuff. I hope Alexios is even half as good on my next playthrough.

[StruttinStrayCat]

Usually, seeing the actors behind a beloved character ruins some of the wonder of that character for me, but this reveal made me like Alexios and Kassandra even more!

[littlesiha]

These two are so talented! 😍 I'm amazed at their work. Thank you for the behind the scenes videos!

[Yan-uikc]

Kassandra is one of my favorite game character, Really a badass woman.

[michaelwighton]

Kassandra's voice actor did an amazing job voicing Kassandra.

[CleoPhoenixRT]

Kassandra has such a powerful, unique and authentic sounding voice that really pulls you into the story (and after learning about Melissanthi makes me like Kassandra more!).

[No-hdpd]

The game is a lot better than I thought it was gonna be. One of the best in series.

[CynicalLight]

Their depth as actors really made me feel for this game. No spoilers, but there's a scene in Athens that made me so emotional I shed tears. Bravo to these actors for bringing Kassandra and Alexios to life.

[epsiloncentauri]

Kassandra is easily one of the best AC protagonist.

Kassandra as Eagle Bearer
And Alexios as Deimos are simply perfect.

[thothofthemorningrisesWthesun]

Melissanthi killed it on the Kassandra performance so glad I chose her character on my play through

[ZuelFaryzzal]

perfect casting, her voice gave me goosebumps everytime kassandra walks into battle

[ciara]

Melissanthi is the single best video game actor, her facial expressions and voice are what make Kassandra! All the kudos to her.
