Ubisoft Montreal was named Studio of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards presented in London, UK. This is the first time Ubisoft Montreal has won in this category.
“I am extremely happy to accept this award on behalf of all our teams at Ubisoft Montreal. To be chosen Studio of the Year by players from around the world is a great honour and proof that we are moving in the right direction. We are fully dedicated to creating touching experiences that also enrich and entertain the lives of millions of people who play our games. This award is a tribute to our employees’ passion and talent”, declared Ubisoft President and CEO Yannis Mallat.
The news comes with another trailer that is co-created by the assassin’s fan community, the CGI trailer offers a breathtaking dive into the French Revolution, and showcases fan made Assassin’s flooding the city of Paris.
Over several months, the community created and voted for their favourite Assassins that would feature in the trailer. Over 200,000 Assassins were designed, with the top 1,400 making the cut.
“The Assassin’s Creed universe lives through its fans’, and this trailer is an amazing opportunity for them to be part of the campaign. They can see their own Assassin running through the streets, breaking into buildings and parkouring on Paris’ rooftops” said Guillaume Carmona, Marketing Director at Ubisoft EMEA.
15 secrets have been included in the trailer, allowing access to exclusive footage and content upon discovery. Assassin’s Creed Unity will be released on 14 November.
