If you haven't seen the Ubisoft alternate universe show "Captain Laserhawk" on Netflix, this pretty much actually happens! Rayman gets fired from his job as a propaganda mouthpiece, replaced with an AI image of himself, forcing him to go in guns-blazing in order to stop a public execution of a member of the Brotherhood of Assassins (from Assassin's Creed).

Here's the scene where Rayman assumes his gun-wielding persona.

I recommend the show just for how wild it is. It's got Rayman, Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell, Marcus and Dedsec from Watchdogs 2, Jade and Pey'j from Beyond Good and Evil, Alex Taylor from The Crew, alternate versions of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six, and more all in one strange world.
