Assassin's Creed Protagonist Infiltrates Paris 2024 Olympics Opening Ceremony | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Video game fans watching the Olympics opening ceremony might have spied a familiar-looking figure flitting across Parisian rooftops, engaging in parkour shenanigans. No, you haven't been drinking from the Seine; the hooded and acrobatic torchbearer appears to be involved with Ubisoft, with the Assassin's Creed developer's headquarters located in the French capital.

Interestingly, the mysterious individual has proven exceedingly hard to track, as footage and images of the hooded figure are being caught up in all kinds of copyright shenanigans. Eurogamer managed to source the below clip featuring images from AP, but true to the stealthy series with which the name is synonymous, they've been exceedingly hard to pin down. Ubisoft told fans to watch for Arno Dorian, the protagonist of 2014's revolutionary Assassin's Creed Unity, during the opening ceremony, and it remains to be seen if other appearances are planned.

@IamJT me too. Was a lot of fun.

@Yousef- The opening ceremony really was kind of tacky tbh. Hundreds of years of art, culture and events to draw upon, and they end
