Ubisoft Unveils Assassin’s Creed Nexus: The Ultimate VR Experience

Ubisoft has released the first trailer of the Assassin’s Creed VR experience, Assassin’s Creed Nexus at the Ubisoft Forward. Assassin’s Creed Nexus will be available on the Meta Quest 2 and 3, set to launch during the holiday season of 2023.

What sets Assassin’s Creed Nexus apart from all the other Assassin’s Creed games in the franchise is its unique first-person perspective, immersing players in the vivid world of assassins like never before. Ubisoft aims to deliver an unforgettable experience by allowing gamers to assume the roles of three iconic characters from past Assassin’s Creed games: Ezio, Kassandra, and Connor.

Let’s take a closer look at the features that make Assassin’s Creed Nexus an exhilarating VR adventure. First, players can expect an all-new Assassin’s Creed story, involving Abstergo Industries and their quest to obtain powerful lost artifacts capable of manipulating people’s beliefs. As a valiant assassin, you will foil their plans while uncovering captivating new narratives and engaging in fresh missions.

One of the highlights of Assassin’s Creed Nexus is the freedom to explore and parkour through historically accurate open maps with 360-degree navigation. Ascend towering structures, scale walls, and leap across rooftops as you strategize and choose the best approach to accomplish your objectives. The possibilities are endless.

With intuitive controls, players will execute real-world motions to block, parry, counterattack, and engage in thrilling duels with reactive enemies. Select from a wide array of deadly weapons, including the iconic hidden blade, swords, tomahawks, bows, crossbows, throwing knives, and smoke bombs. The battles will be intense, and victory will depend on your skill and adaptability.

For those who prefer a stealthier approach, Assassin’s Creed Nexus offers various options for remaining undetected. Utilize traditional and social stealth techniques, blend into crowds, create distractions with well-aimed object throws, and experience the rush of air assassinations firsthand.

As you traverse the open maps, you’ll encounter historical figures, civilians, and enemies, all of whom react dynamically to your choices. The game’s immersive cinematics will transport you deeper into the narrative, allowing you to truly live and breathe the life of an assassin.

Ubisoft has taken player comfort into consideration with Assassin’s Creed Nexus, incorporating innovative comfort settings. These settings include peripheral vision blocking, teleportation, and more, which can be adjusted to mitigate any discomfort, such as nausea, vertigo, or fear of heights. This attention to player comfort ensures that everyone can enjoy the thrilling VR experience without any unnecessary discomfort.
