Last week, Ubisoft announced that it would be donating €500,000 ($564,000, £433,000) “to help with the restoration and reconstruction” of the Notre-Dame Cathedral, which was severely damaged in a fire that saw the building’s spire, and roof destroyed, as well as much of its original woodwork.Īs well as the donation, the company also announced that “”we want to give everyone the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of Notre-Dame the best way we know how.” To that end, the company gave away Assassin’s Creed Unity – which is set in Paris and features a highly-detailed digital version of the Cathedral – for free. According to The Hollywood Reporter, that milestone was reached in just a single week, after Ubisoft made the 2014 title temporarily available for free.
