So apparently the data used to recreate Notre Dame in Assassin’s Creed: Unity, such as surgically accurate laser scans and research by one of the developers, will now be used to restore the cathedral itself.

Not gonna lie, it’s kinda amazing how video games, still so often perceived as something childish and meaningless, will now contribute to restoring one of the most famous pieces of European history.

Looked it up and this is legit! 

A report by The Verge from 2014 says that Caroline Miousse, a senior level designer on Assassin’s Creed Unity (set in Paris during the French Revolution) spent two years building the game’s version of the iconic cathedral.
