Guillotine, Marie Antoinette, the Bastille, the fall of the monarchy, the French Revolution...
What if history became a video game?
Discover how the French Revolution is reimagined in the world of video games, where historical events blend with fiction to create immersive experiences.
Assassin’s Creed Unity (2014), developed by French studio Ubisoft, is one of the most notable examples. By immersing players in Revolutionary Paris, the game blends historical accuracy with captivating fiction to bring one of the most pivotal periods in French history back to life.
Speaker: PD Dr. Friedemann Pestel, historian and professor of modern history at the University of Jena, will guide us through this fascinating exploration at the intersection of history and video games.
Join us for an evening where history meets interactive storytelling!
In collaboration with the Center of francophone worlds (CMF) and with the support of « Novembre Numérique ».
