You have to have a lot of confidence in your product to try something like this, but it is clear that Ubisoft could see the popularity of some of their games. The French developer is exploring the possibility of creating Assassin’s Creed theme parks . Can you imagine how the attraction of the leap of faith could be?
An Assassin’s Creed amusement park
When one stops to think about amusement parks, it is inevitable to think first of Disney’s, then it is likely that those of Universal Studios will go, and then those of LEGO and the recent one of Nintendo and Super Mario.
All of them have something in common: their main attraction or attraction is an easily recognizable figure or theme and we could even say that it is iconic, as would be the case of Mickey Mouse or Super Mario.
Well, it seems that Ubisoft wants to do something similar since it believes that some of its franchises already enjoy that popularity and degree of recognition among practically all groups of people and ages, especially that of their assassins Assassin’s Creed . Can you imagine how an amusement park could be based on that title?
To carry out this project, which for now is going to be studied in depth to see to what extent it is viable or not, it partnered with Storyland Studios . These have already worked in other parks such as those of Universal Studios or Legoland, so they know what they do and what it would have to offer to attract in droves all those fans and even those who are less so of Ubisoft games.
Recreation of MsSkunk and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
Of course it will be or would be an important challenge to create a set of attractions themed with their video games that would make people want to go to Disney or other parks, but that does not mean that for those who are fans of their games it sounds very attractive .
In addition, they could start by creating a small plot within an existing park. Something similar to what Nintendo did with its recent Super Nintendo World amusement park, built inside Universal Studios in Osaka.
Ubisoft’s theme park: a recurring idea
The idea of building a theme park by Ubisoft does not seem to be new, already about five years ago it commented on the possibility of creating a similar project around its games in Malaysia . On that occasion it seems that the ambitions were very high and that of seeking to create a new generation experience took its toll, making its construction unfeasible.
Now they may be a little more down-to-earth and past experience helps them better focus on what they want. Because you don’t have to go crazy either, creating an experience similar to that of the new Star Wars hotel at Disney may be more than enough.
Can you imagine what it could be like to live for a few days in the shoes of a murderer? Going through areas where you must meet certain objectives? Again, a kind of simulation like the ones that the protagonist of Assassin’s Creed lives when it comes to remembering those of his lineage.
Of course, with the Assassin’s Creed saga, I could only recreate as many areas as deliveries and stories the video game tells. But surely others could also attract. Moreover, in general an amusement park based on video games would already be a dream for many, although difficult to manage due to the copyright of each title and what it would mean to try to have a representation of the most iconic.
