First Look: 'Assassin's Creed Nexus VR' Coming to Meta Quest 3 + 2 This Holiday

Get ready to live the legends as you embody fan-favorite master assassins across space and time. Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Renaissance Italy? Kassandra in Ancient Greece? Connor in Colonial America? Yes, yes, and yes—in an all-new story built from the ground up for VR.

Abstergo Industries has found a way to retrieve powerful lost artifacts that can tap into anyone's lifetime of memories in order to manipulate their beliefs. To sabotage their plan, you'll step into history, uncover brand-new stories, and accomplish missions as Ezio, Kassandra, and Connor. Play a pivotal role as you parkour freely through the maps, interact with civilians and historical figures (yes, including Leonardo Da Vinci), and save the future from Abstergo's quest for control.

This is the first time in Assassin's Creed history that you can step inside its world and embody the action entirely in first person. Use your own body to thrust your blade, throw your ax, and wield your bow against a variety of enemies. You'll need to move stealthily to hide among the environment or blend in with civilians—or you can throw objects to distract your foes. From Venice and Athens to Colonial Boston and beyond, each open-map environment features 360-degree navigation so you can explore freely.

Bow and arrows, the Hidden Blade, swords, tomahawk, throwing knives, crossbow, smoke bombs—you'll find a variety of holstered weapons that you can use with your tracked Touch controllers. And you can use your hands to block, parry, counterattack, and duel to your heart's content.

Assassin's Creed Nexus VR is slated for launch this holiday season on Quest 3, 2, and Pro. Wishlist it now on the Meta Quest Store.
