Ubisoft has treated fans to an exciting glimpse of Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, its highly anticipated virtual reality game for the Meta Quest platform. The announcement came during the Ubisoft Forward streaming event as part of the Summer Game Fest, accompanied by confirmation of a holiday launch window. Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is set to release for the Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2, and the recently announced Meta Quest 3, providing an immersive experience for players. Unfortunately, owners of the original Meta Quest will not have access to the game.
While the existence of Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR was previously known due to Meta’s recent game showcase event, Ubisoft showcased a dedicated trailer during the Ubisoft Forward event. The trailer, though light on actual gameplay footage and heavy on CGI cutscenes, confirms that players will assume the role of an actual assassin in a first-person perspective within the immersive world of virtual reality. Ubisoft promises an engaging experience that includes parkour-style movement, stealth combat, and intense hand-to-hand combat encounters.
