Video Game Design and Professional Historical Expertise. An Interview with Maxime Durand (Ubisoft)

A wide range of actors are involved in the production of video games and, consequently, in the way history is popularised in the medium. In the production of video games with historical settings, experts from various professions are involved, drawn from a far wider fi eld than game design and publishing alone. They are consulted at various stages of the production process. The working paper takes as its starting point an interview conducted in 2024 with Maxime Durand, at the time a long-standing member of staff at Ubisoft and one of the most influential of these experts, to shed light on the many processes at play in the production of video games with historical content.
