As promised, Ubisoft has released a trailer for the VR project for the Assassin’s Creed: Assassin’s Creed Nexus series:
this is what we know
In the trailer, among other things, several familiar faces can be seen: Ezio Auditore, who appeared in Assassin’s Creed II, Brotherhood and Revelations; Connor, from Assassin’s Creed III; and Cassandra, from Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. These three beloved assassins star in a new single player story set in three different eras.
Ubisoft has revealed that Assassin’s Creed Nexus focuses on the current story, in which Abstergo begins to explore the timelines of the three Assassins. Players will be able to meet Ezio in 15th century Italy, visit Cassandra in 400 BC Ancient Greece, and experience the American Revolution with Connor in the 18th century.
Since the game takes place in VR, the adventure will be entirely in first person. This is still Assassin’s Creed though, with vast “open worlds” to explore and all the parkour and stealth you’d expect, so Ubisoft promises that the game’s various sandbox levels can be completed however you see fit. . This basically means that when you miss a spectacular sneak attack and blow your cover, you can walk out of the battle.
Ubisoft has also assured fans that they are working with a “dedicated comfort team” to ensure that even those with VR sensibilities can enjoy Assassin’s Creed Nexus. There will be a lot of built-in settings to tailor the game to your preferences.
when can we expect it
Assassin’s Creed Nexus will launch for the Meta Quest VR headset later this year.
