If you've seen the Paola's Dream mystery in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Valhalla, you probably got t💫he idea that something else 𒁃was going on here underneath the surface - and you were very right.

The short event begins in front of a building with large stone steps in Sciropescire. Talking to Jason out front will begin a cutscene where he takes Eivor on a tour of the grounds, which Jason says he and his wife assembled with one stone each from all the places they traveled. Eventually, Jason tells Eivor that the true wisdom he has taken from all his travels is that it's "very well to prepare for tomorrow, but do not forget today. Today, this hour, this ♛moment, is a precious gift." Then he goes to join his wife Paola, who we see painting throughout the scene.

that the real-life Paola made before she passed away in 2018 after multiple extended illnesses. Jason later appeared on the to talk about how playing games like Assassin's Creed Origins helped them explore worlds even when they were housebound together, then how games and the community around them helped after Paola died and he was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Jason became friends with former Assassin's Creed Valhalla creative director Ashraf Ismail after speaking with him on the podcast, and he sent a copy of the painting to the team. Minor spoiler warning, 𝕴but you can even see the painting itself in the building where the Animus ♒is housed.

It's a beautiful in-game tribute 🎶to two people, celebrating not just their love of the series but also their love for one another a⭕nd each moment of life.
