The influence of video games! Assassin's Creed makes its debut at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games
At the opening ceremony, "Assassin's Creed" was a real surprise and excitement. The game's publisher, Ubisoft, a French company, seemed to have hinted that in a tweet earlier in the day, it both mocked the official Olympics account and shared a trailer for "Assassin's Creed: Revolution," which is set during the French Revolution.
The move has sparked speculation as to whether it is a direct tribute to France's national video game heritage or part of a branding campaign.
In a statement to Kotaku, a Ubisoft spokesperson said: "We were impressed by the opening and are proud that Assassin's Creed was an inspiration to its creators. It speaks volumes about the impact video games have had on popular culture."
At the opening ceremony, hooded characters leapt from the roof, apparently based on Ubisoft's legendary game IP, Assassin's Creed, which features Assassins during the French Revolution. The iconic leap of faith in Assassin's Creed has been widely circulated in many other media, and this appearance at the Olympic opening ceremony is undoubtedly another interpretation of French culture.
At the opening ceremony, football star Zinedine Zidane, the beheaded queen and other elements of French culture made an appearance. The appearance of Assassin's Creed added a modern element to the event, blending history and technology, tradition and innovation. The international influence of Assassin's Creed is evident. It has become an indispensable part of popular culture and continues to inspire artists.
