Ubisoft has just dropped a lengthy new gameplay overview video featuring Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, which brings three iconic series heroes together in a first-person, fully-featured Assassin’s Creed game for Meta Quest.
The video is a great look at what players can expect from the game, showing off all of the classic Assassin’s Creed gameplay features like parkour, combat, stealth and assassinations, leaps of faith and recognisable weapons unique to its trio of protagonists in Ezio, Connor and Kassandra.
The game’s Creative Director, David Votypka, explains in the video how the team recreated the crucial Assassin’s Creed experiences to VR without compromising on its core values. The free-roaming parkour in particular looks incredibly exciting (and physically exhausting).
Take a look at the full video below:
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR launches on November 16 for Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro. You can find it on the Meta Store here.
BECOME THREE ICONIC MASTER ASSASSINS
For the first time in franchise history, step into the world of Assassin’s Creed and play in first-person. Embody legendary Assassins Ezio Auditore da Firenze, Kassandra, and Connor as you discover untold chapters of each Assassin’s story. Encounter familiar faces such as Leonardo Da Vinci in the Italian Renaissance, in a story full of harrowing conflict, stolen treasure and revenge. In Ancient Greece, play a central role in an intense struggle. During the American Revolution, get caught up in a world of espionage, intrigue and betrayal.
EXPLORE AND PARKOUR FREELY
Explore iconic historical cities including Venice, Athens, Colonial Boston and more. Embark on quests with the autonomy to decide the best way to achieve your objectives. The campaign features open map environments with 360-degree navigation, allowing you to climb and parkour anywhere. Meet and interact with civilians and historical figures, all of whom react to your VR actions.
INTUITIVE COMBAT USING REAL-WORLD ACTIONS
Engage in realistic combat moves as you use your hands to block, parry, counterattack, and duel a variety of enemies. A wide range of weapons including bow and arrows, the Hidden Blade, swords, tomahawk, throwing knives, crossbow, and smoke bombs attach to your full-body avatar. Distract enemies by throwing objects found in the environment or use the comprehensive stealth system to evade them.
