emotion necessary for the mysterious role of Lucy for the first Assassin’s Creed
video game. She breathed life into her character in a way that deepened the
gaming experience," said Patrice Desilets, creative director for Assassin’s
Creed II. "She did such a fantastic job for this character that, for me, Kristen
Bell is Lucy Stillman and no one else can play that role."

amazing experience. Video games is such a creative entertainment medium, and to
be able to see and play myself as a video game character was surreal," said
Kristen Bell. "As an actress, it’s both challenging and rewarding to play a
complex character with this great mysterious background. I’m very happy to be
Lucy once more, and I look forward to fans discovering more about her – they
will be pleasantly surprised."
