Deborah Papiernik, senior vice president of Ubisoft, said in an interview with Variety magazine that Ubisoft has partnered with EMI Pictures to produce a VR game of the same name as the "Burning Notre Dame de Paris" movie, which will be launched in parallel with the movie on March 16 this year.

Directed by renowned French director Jean Jacques Arnoux, Notre Dame de Paris, the film focuses on the 24-hour spectacle of fires and tells how firefighters controlled the fire and prevented entire ancient buildings from being burned to ashes.
The VR game of the same name made by Ubisoft will be mainly played by decryption, and players will play as firefighters and personally participate in the fire fighting operation of Notre Dame Cathedral, trying to find cultural relics while trying to extinguish the fire. The game also comes with an online element to play alongside your teammates.
Ubisoft said that because it only began to discuss relevant content with the filmmakers in early 2021, and the release date of the film was set for March 2022, the production time was very tight, and it was impossible to make the scale of the game particularly large, and finally decided to control the length of a single game to 1 hour.
In addition to being launched simultaneously with the movie on March 16 this year, the official has not yet announced which platforms the game will land on, as well as the price and other information.
It is worth mentioning that it is actually Jean Jacques Arnold, the director of the film "Burning Notre Dame de Paris", who took the initiative to contact Ubisoft to discuss the production of related content. Deborah Papiernik said: "He knows we have a special affection for Notre Dame. I think that's why he came to us. ”
