Have you considered this is a very early phase for the voice acting in this game? Similar how Ed had a different accent early on during the production, then they've changed it to match the actor. We don't even know if the narrator at the beginning of the demo is really Arno, or it was just a random voiceover placed there for dramatics. I'll wait for a proper mission gameplay with a cutscene to see.

And I really doubt we'll be back to the times of AC1, where Al was the only man in the East to have 'merican accent.
