Re-contextualization of the subtle yet significant element of the Assassin’s creed saga, allowed us to create an environment that was truly integrated with game.
‘The Art Behind the Game – The Ubisoft Experience’ celebrates the remarkable achievements of the video game series, Assassin’s Creed, created by the French gaming company Ubisoft. This exhibition, produced by Voilah! French Festival Singapore, curated and designed by WY-TO, brings the public through a memorable journey to discover the stories behind the acclaimed franchise, providing a behind-the-scenes look at the design and development process of this engaging, vast and enveloping tale. With content provided from the Ubisoft archives, ‘The Art Behind the Game – The Ubisoft Experience’ weaves together three main story lines around the Assassin’s Creed franchise: The Success Story of Ubisoft, the Saga of Assassin’s Creed and the Design of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag.
