Revolutionary Paris In Assassin's Creed Unity

Assassin’s Creed Unity offers a stunning recreation of 18th century Paris, which in modern times is the home of Ubisoft. How did this setting affect the developers’ work? Did this personal connection make things easier or harder? And how did the developers approach the intense history of the French Revolution, which is still an emotive period for many people? Dr Holly Nielsen is joined by Ubisoft resident historian and Assassin's Creed World Director, Maxime Durand, to uncover the challenges and surprising discoveries made by the game developers when recreating Paris during the French Revolution.
