The Paris Fire Brigade tweeted that the cathedral's stone construction has been "saved," as have the "main works of art." Seeing the monument in peril like this affected us all.”Ī devastating fire, which has since been determined to be an accident, tore through the revered Gothic cathedral on Monday, toppling its spire.
“Notre-Dame is an integral part of Paris, a city to which we are deeply connected. “As the smoke clears on the events that unfolded on Monday at the Notre-Dame de Paris, we stand in solidarité with our fellow Parisians and everyone around the world moved by the devastation the fire caused,” states a news release from the company. Ubisoft is also donating 500,000 euros to help with the restoration and reconstruction of the historic cathedral. The freebie was extremely well received, as players started after Ubisoft's gestures of goodwill and the company had to increase the server size in order to accommodate all the new players.Īll of the positive signs were there but it wasn't known just how many players happened to download the free game and played it until recently when mentioned that over three million players downloaded Assassin's Creed Unity in the week when the game was free.įor the moment, it is unknown whether players flocked to the game in order to see Notre Dame in its full glory before the fire or if they seized an opportunity to give Unity a shot at no extra charge.French game publisher Ubisoft is giving away copies of Assassin’s Creed Unity free for the next week in support of the devastating fire at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.
