Ubisoft Helping Disabled, Launches Free Game
Making strides in the fight for video-game accessibility, Ubisoft today announced the release of Handigo The Game, a “serious game” created in partnership with Handicap International. It is being positioned as a tool to raise awareness of the difficulties disabled people go through in their daily life.
Available completely free of charge, it consists of three mini-games that each represent a different type of impairment. The levels end with a message to help the player learn to distinguish between disabilities and gain understanding on the common everyday obstacles disabled people go through.
The publisher also announced that they have modified their game engines to include subtitles in all of their in-house video games. This includes the upcoming Far Cry 2, Prince of Persia and Shaun White Snowboarding titles.
