The opening ceremony for this year’s Games kicked off in Paris on July 26 and ran through August 11. It had everything you need to know about French culture, including soccer star Zinedine Zidane, a beheaded queen, and what appeared to be a mysterious figure in a hood. It was missing a giant baguette, though. People reacted hilariously on social media to seeing an Assassin’s Creed character at the international sporting event. The game’s publisher, Ubisoft, teased the surprise cameo of its history-defending killer in a couple of posts earlier that day. They said they were impressed by the opening ceremony and very proud to see that Assassin’s Creed was one of its inspirations. It is a true testament to video games’ influence on popular culture. Some people thought the event felt more like a dollar-store Eurovision than the Hollywood Super Bowl halftime show. I guess we’ll never know. If you’re pining for a Parisian getaway you can’t afford, try Assassin’s Creed Unity. The game allows you to explore many famous landmarks in Paris and only costs around $20.
