Ubisoft will use Riders Republic and Skull and Bones to address climate issues. In the two games, events caused by climate change will take place.
The website of Playing for the Planet, an initiative of the United Nations, explains exactly what Ubisoft will do in its games. In Riders Republic will be an in-game event set in Phoenix, Arizona. Major wildfires raged in the US state last year.
During the event, the sky turns orange, players automatically wear a gas mask and part of the map is inaccessible due to the forest fires. It also discusses how to reduce the number of forest fires and players will have to work together to prevent several giant sequoias in the area from burning down. The event should give young players an idea of the consequences of forest fires.

In a similar form, players in the upcoming game Skull and Bones related to the consequences of the constant depletion of food resources. They will see how the high demand for shark fins is causing overfishing in the ocean. They can then choose to contribute to the protection of wildlife, in this case the sharks.
The in-game event in Rider Republic will take place over the weekend of July 22 and 23.
