Assassin's Creed Origins actor heard a line while filming House of the Dragon that he liked so much he snuck it into his Metroidvania-style adventure game

The actor behind Assassin's Creed Origins protagonist Bayek, Abubakar Salim, has revealed that he snuck a line from the Game of Thrones prequel show House of the Dragon into his Metroidvania game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau, but he's not telling us what it is. 

Tales of Kenzera: Zau was released in April, but in a new Twitter post, the game's creative director reveals that he was writing and developing it at the same time that he was filming House of the Dragon. He appears in the second season of the show as Alyn of Hull, and clearly, his time working on the series inspired his Metroidvania. 

"I have a confession to make. While I was filming House of the Dragon, I was writing and developing [Tales of Kenzera: Zau]," Salim begins. "There was a line from episode six that I 'borrowed' and put in the game because I thought it was so good. OK. I've come clean. Good luck finding it."
