I saw him in a clip of the metal band performing, which was also fucking wild. Couldn’t tell if it was explicitly AC: Unity based (which would be odd to single out, imo) or just a generally historical outfit. Gonna have to watch the whole thing at some point.
Considering that both were designed with the same historical period and location in mind, that’s not surprising. But the hood? And parkour? That can’t also be a coincidence, can it?
He appeared in little snippets over the course of several HOURS, so it is hard to catch just him. It was not a direct copyright infringement of Ezio or Arno or any other Ubisoft property because the costume included a fencing mask and had different details, but yeah, the first thing I thought was “Assassin’s Creed”.
The band was Gojira and I posted translated lyrics here: https://beehaw.org/post/15211295 and @squirrel@discuss.tchncs.de kindly posted a streamable link.

Parkour originated in France, so it’s also traditional.
Someone still had to make the decision to put all of these elements together in one characters.
