The highly anticipated VR title, Assassin's Creed Nexus, is rumored to feature fan-favorite characters Ezio from AC1, Connor from AC3, and Kassandra from AC Odyssey as playable options. This exciting news was uncovered by members of the Access the Animus community, who decoded a hidden message in the game's recent teaser. Although the name "Assassin's Creed Nexus" may just be a placeholder, the game has been the subject of much speculation and has now been confirmed to make an appearance at Ubisoft Forward. Fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to experience the VR versions of these beloved characters in action.
The teaser contains hidden binary strings that were decoded by the Animus community members, including TheEagleBearer, Sky, Dwarf, L3vinu, and Pascalpalace. The decoded series of numbers are birthdates that correspond to Ezio, Connor, and Kassandra. This discovery suggests that these three characters may be playable in Assassin's Creed Nexus to some extent. While it is possible that the numbers translate to something else, the evidence strongly supports the idea that players may have the opportunity to step into the shoes of past protagonists. The extent and nature of their involvement in the game, however, remains to be seen. They could be similar or different to their main games, past segments, or entirely new experiences. Whether they are story or combat related or offer new ways to engage in parkour, remains to be discovered.
It is uncertain whether Assassin's Creed Nexus will only feature these three characters at launch or if there will be additional ones. Given the premise of a VR game delving into genetic memories, it is likely that both fan-favorite and new characters will be included. More information about the game is expected to be revealed at Ubisoft Forward.
