Echoes of Revolution: Boston & New York
Step into Boston and New York’s revolutionary history and walk the streets where it happened.
Developed by Sugar Creative and Ubisoft, Echoes of Revolution is a free city-scale augmented reality experience for mobile devices available in Boston and New York City to mark the 250th anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence.
The scenery takes place in the streets where the events of the American Revolution happened.
Using the world of Assassin’s Creed® III and Assassin’s Creed® Rogue, powered by Niantic Spatial and Revolutionary Spaces, players can explore history with a richly detailed 18th-century decorum overlayed onto the current city landscape.
Launched on June 25, Echoes of Revolution is a free app available on IOS and Android. The experience can be played in any order, by pointing a phone at the landmarks that shaped the Revolution.
Each one unlocks a moment from history, and the entire experience runs for around 90 minutes in total per city.
Villa Albertine and The French Embassy in the U.S are proud partners of Echoes of Revolution.
