Ubisoft is highlighting climate change in-game

• Games are part of the Playing for the Planet Alliance’s annual Green Game Jam.
• Riders Republic and Skull and Bones will highlight climate change.
• Ubisoft plans a “short and dramatic live event” for Rider’s Republic.

Ubisoft will leverage in-game events in Riders Republic and Skull and Bones to encourage climate change awareness.

Ubisoft’s ideas were part of the Playing for the Planet Alliance’s annual Green Game Jam, which encourages firms to include environmental concerns in games.

Ubisoft intends a “short and intense live event” in Rider’s Republic to highlight wildfire size and frequency. Ubisoft won’t warn players. Riders Republic will start with “map-edge wildfires”

Orange sky, “fire smoke” fog throughout the game, a default gas mask, and a “unbreathable” location are the consequences.

Your team must prevent Sequoias’s fire. This requires using Photo Mode to identify “the most fragile and flammable portions of Sequoia National Park” and working to decrease the possibility of the fire spreading.

Skull & Bones will focus on resource exploitation by “showing what happens in the game and real world when demand for sharks’ fins leads to overfishing.”

You’ll “get the chance to contribute to marine animal protection and comprehend the shark fin trade” during “one of the game’s seasonal live events.” Ubisoft argues communal issues benefit everyone.

2020 enlarged Green Game Jam. This is 2021’s “biggest edition” with 50+ developers.

Others have fewer in-game activities.

Ubisoft Montreal’s “unique Charity Pack” helps wildlife conservation.

Ubisoft San Francisco plans to teach guitar beginners and players with “environmentally-related in-app incentives” and “an interactive curriculum that focuses on the earth with themed song playlists and instructive Rocksmith Discover videos and articles.”

Guerilla Games and Sony make “Aloy’s Forests.” April’s “game jam” emphasised sustainable agriculture.

2019-2021 are Ubisoft’s years. 2021’s Play Green.

Environmentalists and athletes reject NFTs.

Quartz is “the first platform for playable and energy-efficient NFTs in AAA games,” although Ubisoft’s VP of Strategic Innovation Lab said, “If blockchain technology can’t get [more energy efficient], we’ll consider otherwise.”
