Rediscover Paris during the French Revolution

For the Paris Olympics, Ubisoft and Google brought an immersive AR experience to Google Maps, transforming it into a time portal to 1789 Paris. The project merged Ubisoft’s historical world-building with Google’s everyday utility and reached new audiences ahead of Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Landmarks in life-size AR

Notre-Dame, La Bastille and the Palais des Tuileries were reimagined in life-size AR, enriched with animation, ambient sound and historical textures, all compressed under 30MB for seamless mobile use.

Recognition

A lightweight, richly immersive journey that met Ubisoft’s visual and historical standards and introduced a new use of AR inside Google Maps. It was named a 2025 Webby Awards Honoree for Best Partnership or Collaboration and a Nominee for Best Navigation / Structure.
