Paris 2024 Olympics Controversial Opening Revives a 10-Year-Old Game
While the world’s attention is on the athletes competing in the Paris 2024 Olympics, the controversial opening ceremony has unexpectedly breathed new life into a decade-old game, bringing it back into the spotlight.
The opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was very different from the typical Olympic openings we are used to.
For the first time in Olympic history, the grand opening ceremony took place not in a stadium but in a setup where nearly the entire city was used as a stage. Both this choice and the performances staged during the ceremony sparked significant discussion about the Paris 2024 Games.
One of the most striking aspects of the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony was the mysterious torchbearer.
The Assassin’s Creed-inspired opening ceremony, which marked the 10th anniversary of Assassin’s Creed Unity, led to a resurgence in the game's sales.
The torchbearer's rooftop traversal, costume, mysterious demeanor, and acrobatic moves, combined with the Paris backdrop, reminded gamers worldwide of Assassin’s Creed Unity.
This game, which takes players through the streets of Paris during the French Revolution as an assassin serving the light, was released in 2014.
According to SteamDB data, the number of players for Assassin’s Creed Unity has been rising since the game's release on July 26.
The game, which previously had just over 800 daily players, saw the number increase to over 2,600 following the opening ceremony.
