Project Widow, an Assassin’s Creed Unity guided tour of Paris launches

In the lead-up to the launch of Assassin’s Creed Unity on November 14, Ubisoft has launched Project Widow, a unique interactive guided tour of late 18th century Paris.

Via the Project Widow portal, users can access the virtual world which promises cryptic clues, hidden secrets, prizes, competitions and exclusive bonus content for those who look deep enough.

As you explore the streets during the French Revolution, U.K. actor Andy Serkis provides the narration with a very personal tour. There’s also a rumour that he may have a hidden agenda.

Earlier this week, the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass was announced, giving players access to a host of new content including missions and a standalone 2.5D adventure set in China.

Assassin’s Creed Unity retains the series’ third-person open world exploration as well as introducing an improved melee combat and stealth system. Cooperative multiplayer has also been introduced, letting up to four players engage in narrative-driven missions and explore the open-world map.
