Assassin's Creed Olympics: Some Dude Runs Around In An Assassin Outfit With A Torch

As a dedicated gamer with years of Assassin’s Creed series under my belt, this unexpected twist at the Paris Olympics left me absolutely thrilled! Witnessing a man dressed as Arno Dorian, the iconic protagonist from Unity, performing acrobatics on the rooftops and even carrying the Olympic torch was an unforgettable experience. It felt like watching a dream come to life!

At the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics, the atmosphere is filled with magnificence and athletic competition. An unexpected turn of events unfolded, as reported by NBC Sports: a man dressed as an Assassin’s Creed character, remarkably resembling Arno from Assassin’s Creed Unity, made an appearance.

Impressive Acrobatics on Rooftops

I’ve seen my fair share of impressive feats throughout my years, but let me tell you, this Arno-lookalike left me speechless with his breathtaking acrobatics atop the rooftops of Paris. And that was just the beginning! He daringly zip-lined across the Seine while cradling the Olympic torch in his hands. I’ve seen my share of thrilling performances, but this one was unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed before. It was as if I had stumbled upon a magical blend of Forrest Gump’s determination and the vibrant energy of a cosplay convention. The experience left me feeling exhilarated and in awe.

As an avid fan of Ubisoft and the Assassin’s Creed series, I was taken aback when they dropped a hint about something unexpected on their platform X (previously known as Twitter). Their post read:

“Keep an eye on Paris’ rooftops—Arno might just be watching from above.”

I’ve had the pleasure of witnessing the extraordinary feats of Arno Dorian, a man whose parkour skills in Revolutionary Paris are nothing short of legendary. Having grown up in the bustling streets of this historic city, Arno mastered the art of navigating its labyrinthine architecture with an agility and grace that leaves one in awe. His exploits have captivated audiences for generations, and it’s no wonder that his story has been immortalized in various forms of media, including video games. In fact, I strongly believe that the recent surge of interest in Assassin’s Creed Shadows can be attributed to the enduring allure of Arno Dorian and his captivating backstory. The way he seamlessly blends into the rich tapestry of Parisian history is truly a sight to behold, making for an immersive and thrilling experience that keeps audiences coming back for more.

NBC Sports downplayed the presence of Arno from Assassin’s Creed at the Olympics, maintaining a low key presentation. At certain times, however, with Arno wearing his disguise and engaging in parkour moves, one could mistakenly assume he was just another masked athlete participating in the event.

During the Olympics, this entertaining exhibit was somewhat upstaged due to various incidents. For instance, there were trains intentionally damaged, resulting in over 800,000 people being left without transportation. Additionally, the entire city encountered a power failure.

In the midst of the confusion, it’s delightful to observe the creative blend of pop culture at the Olympics in Paris.
