Ubisoft has announced that it is giving away free copies of Assassin’s Creed Unity, in a response to the unfortunate incident that saw the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris being partially destroyed in a fire. “We want to give everyone the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of Notre-Dame the best way we know how”, the publisher said.
Alongside free copies of Assassin’s Creed Unity, the publisher will also be donating €500,000 to help with Cathedral’s reconstruction efforts, which are already being planned for.
Assassin's Creed Unity Free Copies
Whether you’re looking forward to experience Assassin’s Creed Unity in co-op or on your own, you’ll be able to grab a copy through Uplay or the Ubisoft Store.
Assassin’s Creed Unity will be free for a week, between April 17 at 5 pm to April 25 at 10 am. Getting a copy during this period means that you’ll get to keep it forever.
“Video games can enable us to explore places in ways we never could have otherwise imagined. We hope, with this small gesture, we can provide everyone an opportunity to appreciate our virtual homage to this monumental piece of architecture.”, the blog post announcing Ubisoft’s response to the incident reads.
In solidarity with everyone moved by Monday's events we’re donating to the restoration for Notre-Dame & giving you the chance to play Assassin’s Creed Unity on Uplay for free.
