Players, who compete in bike, ski or wingsuit races in a natural setting, will suffer the visible consequences.

Ubisoft was rewarded this Thursday, June 30 at the Green Game Jam 2022. The event honors projects carried out by studios on raising awareness of ecological issues.

With this project called Phoenix, Ubisoft is particularly seeking to warn of the dangerousness of forest fires and thus hopes to contribute to their reduction.

Congrats to the @RidersRepublic and @Brawlhalla teams for their wins in the @P4PAlliance Green Game Jam 2022 🏆🏆

The sun will disappear

The event could occur between the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023. Thus, the racing environment will be disrupted.

The sun will disappear in favor of an orange sky strewn with smoke.

Player avatars, which are usually customizable, will all come equipped with a gas mask.

In addition, some areas of the adventure game will become impassable because the air will become "unbreathable" announces the publisher.

The players will not sit idly by and will be put to work.

They will be able to gather to limit the spread of fire.

They will have to look inside the “Sequoia” zone, the most fragile and flammable zone, specifies

Forest path and brush clearing operations will also be offered, and trees can be protected with aluminum foil.

The Ubisoft subsidiary in Singapore has for its part submitted a project around the future game
