Ubisoft, the French video-game powerhouse behind franchises like “Assassin’s Creed,” “Far Cry” and “Watch Dogs,” has partnered with Pathé to develop a location-based VR escape game based on Jean-Jacques Annaud’s upcoming IMAX-shot docudrama “Notre-Dame on Fire.”
The one-hour experience – which shares the title of Annaud’s blockbuster – will put players into the boots and flameproof uniforms of the Parisian fire brigade on that fateful night of April 15 2019, when flames nearly claimed the world-famous cathedral.
This licensing project marks the video-game studio’s third item showcasing the French landmark. In-house engineers initially built a detailed model of Notre-Dame ahead of 2014’s “Assassin’s Creed Unity,” an action-adventure game set in 18th century France.
Responding to public sentiment – and to the user-made videos taken from inside the game that spread online throughout the spring of 2019 – Ubisoft repurposed its model for “Notre-Dame de Paris: Journey Back in Time,” a short immersive experience...
