Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is a virtual reality action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft for virtual reality (VR) headsets Meta Quest 3, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 2.[1] It is the first VR game in the Assassin's Creed series.
Story
In the game, players take on the role of an Assassin hacker who infiltrates Abstergo and relives the memories of three of the series' protagonists—Ezio Auditore, Kassandra, and Ratonhnhaké:ton / Connor—to sabotage the Templars' plans to use them to further their own goals.[2]
Development
In September 2020, at the digital event of Facebook Connect, Red Storm Entertainment's VP of Product Development, Elizabeth Loverso, revealed several AAA game franchises coming to virtual reality format to the public. Two of the projects announced were an untitled Assassin's Creed game and an untitled installment from the Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell series (also developed by Ubisoft), with both titles set to release exclusively for Oculus platforms.[3] In June 2023, at a Meta Quest Gaming Showcase event, the updated title for the game, Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, was announced along with a release window of late 2023.[4]
