Immerse Yourself in the World of Assassin's Creed with These 3 Iconic Protagonists in VR

The highly anticipated release of Assassin's Creed Nexus will offer players a unique opportunity to experience the game through the eyes of three beloved Assassins. Although rumors of a virtual reality spin-off have been circulating for some time, Ubisoft only confirmed the project's existence in 2020. Since then, fans have eagerly speculated about how the game's signature stealth and parkour elements will translate to VR, as well as the time and setting of the game's story.

During the VR Meta Showcase on June 1, a brief teaser was released for the long-rumored Assassin's Creed VR title. While the teaser did not reveal much, sharp-eyed fans were quick to notice clues that hinted at the playable heroes from past Assassin's Creed games. This aligns with earlier reports that the game would be an anthology of sorts featuring past assassins. Now, players have confirmation that they will be able to see the story through the eyes of some of the series' most memorable protagonists.

During today's Ubisoft Forward 2023, a new trailer for Assassin's Creed Nexus was unveiled, confirming that players can expect to navigate several historical landscapes as three of the franchise's beloved assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Connor Kenway/Ratonhnhaké:ton, and Kassandra. The game will offer a first-person perspective, allowing players to engage in thrilling jumps, stealthy maneuvers, and lethal assassinations. After the trailer, Ubisoft Montreal Community Developer Clement Dagonneau shared that Assassin's Creed Nexus will offer an unparalleled virtual reality experience, immersing players in the classic stealth and parkour gameplay that the franchise is renowned for. The game will be available on Meta Quest VR headsets just in time for the holiday season.

Assassin’s Creed fans have much to look forward to beyond the upcoming release of Nexus. Among the titles showcased during the Ubisoft Forward event was Assassin’s Creed: Codename Jade, a free-to-play open-world RPG set in ancient China for mobile devices. Additionally, fans can anticipate the arrival of Assassin’s Creed Mirage in October, which will follow Valhalla’s Basim. And for those seeking an immersive experience, Assassin’s Creed Nexus promises to offer a thrilling first-person perspective of the franchise’s beloved heroes in virtual reality by the end of the year. Mark your calendar for the holiday season of 2023 when Nexus is set to launch for Meta Quest.
