The new VR component will also add an interesting double-layer to the series, whose plot often centers around modern-day protagonists entering their own virtual historic world. The game will be available on Meta’s latest VR headsets known as Quest, formerly branded as Oculus.
“It’s still more like video game violence as opposed to trying to simulate what a real hidden-blade kill might be like.” “You can’t torture them,” Votypka said of assassination targets. Game designers tuned down the violence of assassination scenes, making them quick and controlling where targets could be struck. There was also discussion early on by the team how realistic it should be for someone in VR to sneak up on a person and stab them to death, according to Votypka. “Games that work best in VR are obviously the ones that feature a lot of physicality so it allows us to make something different and better in some ways than the non VR version,” Votypka said.Ī team at Ubisoft was devoted to making sure people who get disoriented or nauseous from dashing about in VR are comfortable, adding features like quick ways for characters to “teleport” from one spot to another. Gameplay in Assassin’s Creed involves a lot of climbing, jumping between buildings swinging from poles, running, combat and more. “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.
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.
