BLOCKBUSTER GAME : ''ASSASSIN'S CREED UNITY''


PARIS : 'Assassin's Creed' game set in Notre Dame offered free for a week.

The Franck maker of the blockbuster game ''Assassin's Creed Unity'', which takes place inside the  Notre - Dame cathedral, said Thursday it was offering the title for a week to gave players a peek inside the fire-scarred monument.

''We want to give everyone the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of Notre-Dame ,''  Ubisoft said in a statement announcing that it would give the game away for free on PC between April 17 and April 25.

''We stand in solidarity with our fellow Parisians and everyone around the world moved by the devastation the fire caused, the company said.

Ubisoft also pledged 500,000 euros [$563, 012] towards the restoration and reconstruction of the cathedral, joining a long list companies and business tycoons that have promised help totalling over 850 millions euros so far.

Released in November 2014, ''Assassin's Creed Unity'' puts the player in the shoe of Amo Dorian, a young Assassin swept up in the  French Revolution.

The eighth major instalment in the largely successful ''Assassin's Creed'' series allows players the opportunity to explore a faithful reproduction of late 18th-century Paris.

Players can also climb around a scale model of the cathedral.

In 2014 interview with  Greek Ireland, one of the game's designers Caroline Miosse said  reproducing Notre-Dame took Ubisoft teams 14 months of work, followed by a further three weeks ''to dress its interiors in accordance to the Revolution era.''

More than 100 million Assassin's Creed games have been sold since the launch of the first title in 2007. [Agencies]
