There are a number of tablets that you can find while playing as Eivor that display this language, and they can be referenced with partially translated files on Layla’s computer in the modern portion of the game to be fully decoded. Access the Animus used corresponding words, in-game translations, a complex understanding of grammar, and historical language building to find out what was written.
Using in-game translations from Anthony Henry, Access the Animus was able to apply what they learned to the collector’s version of the game, which has Isu’s script on the packaging. So far they have found the words “Hidden Inside” on the soundtrack CD, and “This Lake” on the CD bed in the game box. They also arranged the collector’s edition art prints that revealed another Isu word, “Now.”
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s narration director, Darby McDevitt, praised the community on Twitter shortly after the video was released. He tweeted: “Reaching Animus, I have never doubted you. Isu has been cracked.” The Access the Animus team stated at the end of the video that there are still many tablets and scripts to decode, with more secrets to reveal beyond their progress so far.
Reaching Animus, I’ve never doubted you.
