I just hope that we will be able to choose our loadout when playing this. It’s a small thing, but massively enhances replayability.
From the update notes.
“You’ll also unlock Deterministic Mode , which can be activated by resetting the Escalation back to Stage 1 and choosing a newly-unlocked Starting Location.”
So from first time might be limited but after that should have free range.

This sounds so complicated. I wonder if the three levels make up for this pretty confusing setup.
I hope the last level is well enough to be a bonus mission style and not all three of the levels bc I don’t want to keep resting just to pick an area

Permanent event. Hmm. Not going to start judging too much yet. But considering they only changed a small portion around the juice bar in Berlin for the easter event. Im guessing only the rear of Dartmoor is re-imagined. At least its free.
I assure you it’s much more changed than the Easter event or any of the post-launch content we’ve had so far
That’s why they’re giving it contracts mode

They mention that the judges at the show are people who we got to see in Dubai, so I’m guessing Saito, Voltaire, and Stillman?

I indeed do not want to be spoiled, so I’ll wait until next week

I have literally no idea who are the last two. 
My money would be on Sebastian Saito, Lucy Phillips and Cornelia Stuyvesant.

Voltaire is an art critic, you can find him in Dubai. I have no clue why Sato would be there because he is a fashion designer. Phillips and Stuyvesant would make sense because Phillips is an instillation artist and Cornelia is involved in the arts.

I have a feeling that if they bring back NPCs from Dubai it would be the ones people are familiar with. Sato was a notable NPC from Paris and both Cornelia and Lucy played a central role in an opportunity.
Voltaire is a name I heard for the first time. Maybe it’s just me but I don’t think many people know who he is. Although he does make more sense than Sato.

True it is easier like that.
Who the hell is that

Neither I. I would say the Sheik might be a better guess, since he hosted the art show and he built an indoor oasis. He has love for both arts and plants.
Well he didn’t build the gardens himself or design them, at least I don’t think he directly says it and plenty of rich people host art shows but don’t know the first thing about art.

You’re right. I’m so keen on to find out who are they.
I am quite sure a Sheikh does not care for a garden show in some backyard.

Builds an island to have his own garden show like a real Emirati.

Just imagine him popping down from his tower in Dubai to enjoy some plants and some English muffins and cookies
My apologies, of course I meant Lucy PHILLIPS 
(aka the “Cornelia Stuyvesant! Oh, you’re here!” lady). Lucy Stillman was the female lead in the first Assassin’s Creed games… 
(and obviously the more memorable Lucy for me)
