A new Assassin's Creed Nexus VR gameplay trailer (which you can watch above) has confirmed the release date for Ubisoft's upcoming VR stealth-action game: November 16, for Meta Quest devices. It will be priced at $39.99.
Ubisoft calls Nexus "the first AAA VR title of the franchise" and lets you play as three separate characters from Assassin's Creed games of yore: Ezio (Assassin's Creed II), Connor (Assassin's Creed 3), and Kassandra (Assassin's Creed Odyssey). Thus, you'll visit Renaissance Italy, the American Revolution, and Ancient Greece.
Nexus is being developed by longtime Ghost Recon studio Red Storm, and in what may one day be a good gaming trivia question/answer, it's the first-ever first-person-perspective Assassin's Creed game.
