Assassin’s Creed Nexus, according to a recent source, will be the name of Ubisoft‘s Assassin’s Creed VR game, which was reported to be in production back in 2020. According to the source, the game will be released in the next 12 months and will feature various well-known heroes from the series as well as a variety of objectives to complete.
New potential game details have now surfaced on Reddit, where a user claiming to have obtained a copy of the game has uploaded not only a clip of the game’s main menu screen and a mission selection screen but also some gameplay specifics.
Some of the data correspond to the report described above. The game’s combat appears to be timed, requiring you to pick your moments to strike at foes who have lowered their cover. Meanwhile, the leaker claims that swords, throwing knives, crossbows, smoke bombs, and, of course, the Hidden Blade will be used.
While jumping is done using the A button, climbing is done by manually vaulting, grabbing ledges, and pushing yourself up using the motion controllers, according to the user. Ubisoft has supposedly included choices to minimize motion success as well.
The user also discusses the game’s structure, which will not be an open world like most Assassin’s Creed games, as you might anticipate for a VR release. Instead, it appears that it will follow a mission-based framework. Mission zones, according to the source, are quite large, with lots of room for backtracking.
The user argues that in-game cutscenes provide briefings for the current mission, but the game has no side missions or extra objectives. Finally, the leaker states that, despite the fact that there are many playable characters, which correspond to previously released material, players cannot easily swap between them, with the only distinctions in the game being how your hands look and how people address you.
These are all unconfirmed data at the moment, so take them with a grain of salt until we hear something official from Ubisoft. If Assassin’s Creed Nexus is launching as soon as these leaks say, it won’t be long until it’s announced. In any case, we’ll be on the lookout for further information, so stay tuned.
