In the recent Ubisoft Forward streaming event as part of Summer Game Fest, Ubisoft unveiled a detailed glimpse of the upcoming ‘Assassin’s Creed: Nexus VR’. The game is set to release during the holiday season for Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2, and the newly revealed Meta Quest 3. However, it is unfortunate news for original Quest owners as the game won’t be available for their platform.
Though this announcement was somewhat anticipated due to the recent games showcase event by Meta, which featured ‘Assassin’s Creed: Nexus VR’, it is now officially confirmed with a dedicated trailer. The trailer, while focusing more on CGI cutscenes and less on actual gameplay, clearly portrays first-person play as a bona fide assassin, all made possible through the immersive technology of VR. According to Ubisoft, players will be able to experience parkour-style navigation, stealth combat, and immersive hand-to-hand fights.
The game will revisit earlier series heroes like Ezio, enabling players to interact with their memories and hence access various levels. To assuage potential concerns over VR-induced nausea, especially while performing complex parkour movements, Ubisoft has incorporated top-notch comfort features in the game to combat vertigo or acrophobia, although specific details regarding these features are still under wraps. Pricing details are also yet to be announced, but it’s worth noting that high-end Quest games generally have a price cap of around $40. Additionally, the game seems to be exclusive to the Quest platform at its initial release.
