Resurgence Fueled By Arno's Appearance At Olympics!

Story Highlight
  • Assassin’s Creed Unity was released by Ubisoft almost a decade ago.
  • The game recently saw a surge in players due to the appearance of Arno Dorian in the Olympics.
  • Fans are now recreating Arno’s outfit, which was shown during the Olympics’ opening ceremony in-game.

Assassin’s Creed Unity was released almost a decade ago, and it is still fresh in many gamers’ memories. At that time, Ubisoft was quite famous among the fandom, as the Assassin’s Creed games were insanely good.

Assassin’s Creed Unity, in particular, was a game changer despite its problems. It had a slow start but set a high standard for future entries. That said, this particular entry saw a surge in players recently after Arno Dorian’s appearance at the Olympics

Why it matters: When a certain reference from a video game is portrayed this way to evoke nostalgia, players tend to revisit it even after a decade.

The opening ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics featured Arno Dorian, the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed Unity. Arno made an appearance as part of French Culture, which evoked nostalgia among fans.

Ubisoft teased Arno’s appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics beforehand, and fans were hoping to see it. Since the studio itself is tied to French culture and this Assassin’s Creed entry is set in Paris, this appearance was seen as a major deal.

Currently, 1543 Steam users are playing the game, which is impressive for a single-player release from a decade ago. The 24-hour peak sits at 2219 players, marking a major resurgence.

This is impressive for a title with concurrent player counts in the hundreds until recently. The game is also available at a 75% discount, making this the best time to revisit Assassin’s Creed Unity.

Fans are now trying to recreate Arno’s outfit featured in the Olympics, and they have done an excellent job. It almost seems like an official release for the outfit, so it is good to see fans enjoying a decade-old game again.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft is preparing to release Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This entry takes the series to Japan, though it has been surrounded by plenty of controversy. Therefore, it is great to see a bit of positivity around the series due to the Olympics.
