Ubisoft today announced it’d be giving away Assassin’s Creed Unity away for free, as a tribute to the damaged Notre-Dame and to give gamers “the chance to experience the majesty and beauty of the cathedral” in the wake of the fire.

Unity, which is set during the French Revolution and stars a rebellious aristocrat-turned-Assassin named Arno, features a painstaking replica of Notre-Dame — a recreation so thorough that it could be a valuable resource to the French government when reconstruction gets underway. The artist in charge of the design spent two years working on just the cathedral, in order to ensure it felt like the real thing. A spokesperson has told Kotaku it’s not a precise duplicate of the real thing: “While we wanted to be very precise with details, there are some differences in terms of scale and with some elements.” But it’s still pretty damned close.
