It’s very difficult to take a big picture of Notre Dame and capture every single detail. You can just find so much stuff on the internet now.īut it also really just helped me a lot to talk to people. helped me a lot with it because he has the historicalīackground. Having never seen it before, what sorts of references did you work from?īlueprints showing us exactly how Notre Dame was constructed. To just pull up all the wireframes and play around with them. I’ve been calling it my big monster baby. Studied Notre Dame so much and everything I was looking at was so familiar. At the same time, it was a strangeįeeling because I felt like I was going home. How did it feel toįinally see it after working on it for years? Notre Dame while you were re-creating it in the game. So why did the art team make the call to alter it? We talked to Caroline Miousse, senior level artist on “Assassin’s Creed Unity,” about what it was like to re-create Notre Dame in the game (despite having never actually seen it herself!) and why certain key choices were made. Architecture aficionados may notice the in-game version of the cathedral isn’t exactly as it should have appeared during the French Revolution. Because the Parisian skyline is so iconic, the development team realized they needed to pay special attention when building the world in “Assassin’s Creed Unity.” It needed to be accurate, yet it also had to feel familiar.

You see each of these exquisite examples of architecture and instantly know exactly what they are. The Eiffel Tower (yes, the Eiffel Tower is indeed in the game). Paris has some of the most recognizable landmarks in the world. In solidarity with everyone moved by Monday's events we’re donating to the restoration of Notre-Dame & giving you the chance to play Unity on Uplay for free.
