Introduction: Assassin’s Creed and VR
Assassin’s Creed, a popular video game franchise, is considered to be a perfect fit for virtual reality (VR). The connection is made between wearing a VR headset and stepping into the Animus, the fictional device used in the game series. The anticipation was that Assassin’s Creed: Nexus would be another tech demo, but to the surprise of many, it turned out to be a full-fledged Assassin’s Creed adventure in VR.
A Full Assassin’s Creed VR Adventure
Assassin’s Creed: Nexus offers a complete VR experience with a lengthy story mode. Players are given the opportunity to step into the roles of iconic characters from the franchise’s history, including Ezio in Renaissance-era Italy, Connor in Colonial America, and Kassandra in Ancient Greece. The immersive nature of VR allows players to truly feel like they are a part of the Assassin’s Creed universe.
