In addition, Ubisoft is also donation €500,000 to Paris organizers in effort to rebuild the Cathedral. The restoration of the cathedral can take more than $8 billion, and years to restore it completely.

We want to give everyone the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of Notre-Dame the best way we know how … When we created Assassin’s Creed Unity, we developed an even closer connection with this incredible city and its landmarks – one of the most notable elements of the game was the extraordinary recreation of Notre-Dame.
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.
