About this sound

✦ AI

A short ominous voice clip saying 'nothing is true,' from the Assassin's Creed maxim. Creators use it for conspiracy reveals, plot twists and dramatic edits.

The clip is a brief, grave voice line: a low male voice intones 'nothing is true...' and lets the words hang, as if a secret is about to surface. The delivery is slow and weighted, with a faint cinematic hush behind it, so even the two-second fragment feels loaded with meaning. Dropped into an edit, it works like a verbal raised eyebrow — whatever the viewer just saw suddenly looks suspicious. It primes the audience for a reveal, a contradiction, or a punchline about deception, turning an ordinary clip into something that feels conspiratorial and deliberately staged.

'Nothing is true, everything is permitted' is the maxim of the Assassin Brotherhood in Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, first spoken in the 2007 original and repeated across sequels, trailers and fan edits. The line's bleak, philosophical tone made it a favorite outside the games too, quoted in montages about hidden truths and rigged systems. As a standalone soundboard clip, the truncated 'nothing is true...' works like a miniature mission failed sting: two seconds of doom that tell the viewer the official story just collapsed.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it right before the reveal, not over it — let the line land, add a beat of silence, then cut to the contradiction. Pair it with a slow zoom or grade shift. Avoid stacking it with quote clips; its power is the pause it creates.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Revealing a plot twist in a gaming montage.
  • Captioning a conspiracy theory TikTok edit.
  • Undercutting a politician's claim with irony.
  • Introducing a 'everything you know is wrong' video.

Frequently Asked Questions

✦ AI
Where is the 'nothing is true' sound from?
The full line, 'nothing is true, everything is permitted,' is the creed of the Assassin Brotherhood from Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed series, debuting in the 2007 game. This clip uses just the truncated opening half as a standalone meme sound.
What does 'nothing is true, everything is permitted' mean?
In Assassin's Creed lore it is a warning, not a license: because no belief is absolute truth, assassins must question everything and take responsibility for their own judgment. Meme edits usually borrow only the ominous tone, not the philosophy.
How do creators use this sound in edits?
Most place it right before a reveal or contradiction — a debunked claim, a plot twist, a rigged result — then cut to the evidence. It also works as a cold open for conspiracy-themed videos or as an ironic caption over obviously staged clips.
