Assassin’s Creed Nexus Preview: A Captivating First-Person AC Game in VR

There’s perhaps no franchise better-suited for VR than Assassin’s Creed, starting with the fact that strapping on a VR headset bears an awful lot in common with stepping into the Animus. We half-expected Nexus to be little more than yet another half-baked tech demo, but instead, we were stunned to find that this is a full-on Assassin’s Creed adventure, complete with a lengthy story mode that has you playing as either Ezio in Renaissance-era Italy, Connor in Colonial America, or Kassandra in Ancient Greece. Previewed on Meta Quest 3 by Travis Northup.
