At its core, Assassin’s Creed Nexus is an upcoming VR game in which you get to embody three different time periods and therefore, three different characters: Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Assassin’s Creed II, Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood, Assassin’s Creed Revelations), Kassandra (Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey), and Connor (Assassin’s Creed III, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag). These a new stories for these characters too, so fans will get more time with some of the franchise’s most iconic characters.

For the first time in Assassin’s Creed history, Nexus will be bringing the franchise to the VR world, meaning this will be the first opportunity to play as your favorite character in both first person and across multiple different maps.

Nevertheless, Nexus still embodies the same Assassin’s Creed nature many know and love, keeping the experience single-player and allowing said player the chance to embody all the tactics, brutality, and free choices many used in games of old.

On top of this, the combat should be all the more engaging, with players able to use bows, swords, throwing knives, and of course, their hidden blade whenever required. They’ll also be able to do the classic leap of faith, as long as the player’s not too scared of heights.

Ultimately, combining an immersive VR experience with three classic characters means Assassin’s Creed Nexus is already a game filled with firsts, and it certainly looks like an experience unlike any other.
