Assassin’s Creed Nexus looks pretty good but apparently didn’t sell very well, so Ubisoft is going to ease off on the whole VR thing for a bit.
Following disappointing sales of Assassin’s Creed Nexus, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says the publisher isn’t going to increase its investment into VR game development until demand for it “grows enough.”
Assassin’s Creed Nexus looked “genuinely cool” in the estimation of news writer Joshua Wolens, “if you can keep yourself from throwing up,” which in the context of VR games I think is a mostly-complimentary statement. It also holds a high user rating on the Meta Store, and an overall rating of 78/100 on Metacritic. Those are solid numbers, but they apparently didn’t translate into significant sales.
“We’ve been a bit disappointed by what we were able to achieve on VR with Assassin’s Creed,” Guillemot said during an investors call.
