Assassin’s Creed VR has been renamed Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, and it will launch later this year for Meta Quest VR headsets.
Announced at the Meta Quest Games Showcase, Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is the first game in the Assassin’s Creed franchise to be playable in virtual reality. Originally announced in a blog post in 2021, Assassin’s Creed Nexus was one of two VR games Ubisoft announced were in development for the Meta Quest VR headset along with Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell VR. However, it seems only Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR will see a release, as Axios reporter Stephen Totilo reported last year that Ubisoft canceled the development of Splinter Cell VR (along with three other games).
Ubisoft previously confirmed in the blog post from 2021 that Ubisoft Red Storm, a subsidiary focused on Tom Clancy games such as The Division and Rainbow Six Siege, will take the lead on the development of Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR (then called Assassin’s Creed VR), with additional support from Ubisoft Reflections, Ubisoft Dusseldorf, and Ubisoft Mumbai.
While the Meta Quest Games Showcase did not share much about the upcoming project other than the new name, we won’t have to wait much longer as today’s showcase confirmed that Ubisoft Forward, which will be held on June 12, will provide a full reveal of Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR. Ubisoft also announced today that the Forward will be available in American Sign Language, English audio description, and have English subtitles for disabled viewers, and all game trailers will come with subtitles in 14 languages.
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is just one of many games from the Assassin’s Creed IP that Ubisoft is currently working on as the company announced in a recent earnings report that it is preparing to pump resources into the franchise following a “challenging” year of losses and minimal game releases from the publisher. Alongside Nexus VR, four major installments in the franchise (including Assassin’s Creed Mirage) and a mobile game are currently in development.
