“Being able to feel what it is like to become a master assassin is going to be a huge draw for players,” the game’s senior creative director David Votypka told AFP at a Ubisoft Forward showcase of upcoming games in Los Angeles. Players in Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR will take on the roles of earlier protagonists from the franchise, complete with the trademark hidden wrist blades, dramatic parkour escapes, and the iconic “leap of faith” from atop buildings.
We got another look at Assassin's Creed Mirage, which Ed's been to play in LA, as well as Assassin's Creed: Codename Jade, the free-to-play mobile game set in third century China, which is getting a closed beta on iOS and Android later this summer.LOS ANGELES: French videogame powerhouse Ubisoft on June 12 announced that a virtual reality version of its blockbuster Assassin’s Creed franchise will be available by year’s end. Ubisoft also showed off two other Assassin's Creed games at tonight's Ubisoft Forward showcase.
These include what Ubisoft calls "dynamic peripheral vision blocking", and the ability to teleport around your surroundings instead of climbing or parkouring. It will have a range of comfort options if the thought of all that rushing about makes you feel a bit nauseous, though. Each will feature an open map that you can navigate in 360 degrees, and you'll be able to climb and parkour about the place just as you would in a regular AssCreed game. You could really do yourself a mischief there, and things could get real messy real fast.Įach bit of Assassin's Creed Nexus will follow one of those three aforementioned Assassins, with Ubisoft describing them as "untold chatpers" in their respective stories. But please, whatever you do, don't attempt to eagle dive off a tower at the same time. In any case, for those with more spacious living rooms than I, Assassin's Creed Nexus will see you chopping, stabbing and shooting arrows with your bow in motion-controlled virtual reality - as the trailer above emphasises to great effect. Alas, if I ever decide to partake in Assassin's Creed Nexus, I'll have to make do with awkwardly shifting my living coffee table out the way every time in order to make room for it - and I'll still probably whack my knee on the corner of it in the process every damn time.
I sure wish my living room was that neat and tidy.
