Here’s all the information we have on the Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR release date, platforms, trailers, and everything else we know about the series’ venture into virtual reality.
Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is the first instance of first-person, and virtual reality, Assassin’s Creed action. It promises to unearth never-before-seen chapters of some of the franchise’s most iconic assassins all in VR, and marks a landmark moment for the landscape of the Assassin’s Creed games.
Although we’ve only received a small slice of information regarding the release, there’s enough to develop a firm understanding of what the game is all about, and what we can expect from it, alongside whether or not it’s a worthy addition to our list of upcoming games worth keeping an eye on.
We’ve met our playable characters and seen a CGI interpretation of what the experience might feel like upon release, but there’s still a lot to learn about Nexus VR. That said, here’s everything we do know about the game right now. Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR: Cut to the chase
What is it? The first first-person Assassin’s Creed game in VR
When can I play it? Holiday 2023
What can I play it on? Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest
Who is making it? Ubisoft (multiple studios)Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR release date and platforms
Rather than an Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR release date specifically, we’ve got a pretty significant release window spanning “Holiday 2023”. The lack of a specific date leads us to believe the launch will be toward December rather than any sooner, given Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to arrive in October.
As for available platforms, the VR experience will only be available on the Meta Quest Pro, Meta Quest 2, and Meta Quest 3, which reinforces our belief that the release date will fall around late November at the absolute earliest since the hardware doesn’t arrive until a rather vague “Fall 2023″
This story is built exclusively for VR, which is a first for the franchise and opens the doors to potentially becoming one of the best VR games, but whether or not the game will make its way to alternative hardware such as the PSVR 2 remains a mystery for now. It would certainly be a hit on the platform, but there’s no indication this is even plausible at this stage, which might leave it residing among the best Oculus Quest 2 games instead. Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR trailers
The first Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR trailer was shown as part of Ubisoft Forward on June 12, 2023. As a whole, it doesn’t give a lot away in terms of what we can expect from the game, and the minute-and-a-half-long teaser offers no in-game footage.
