For everyone who has been biding their time to commit assassinations up close and personal, we have everything you need to know about the Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus release date rumours, pre-order details, what platforms it will be coming to, gameplay and story details and trailers.<\/p>\n<p>Assassin\u2019s Creed does have another VR experience, Assassin\u2019s Creed \u2013 Escape the Lost Pyramid, but this is for VR centres only and can\u2019t be enjoyed in the comfort of your own home.<\/p>\n<p>With the upcoming <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/meta-quest-3-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Meta Quest 3<\/a>, VR users are in for some much-needed attention, as Nexus looks like it could be a triple. With so much excitement surrounding the game, we won\u2019t dilly-dally, and nor should you \u2013 so read on to get the lowdown on Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>When is the Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus release date?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The release date for Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus is <b>Holiday 2023<\/b>. This means that we can realistically expect the game to release sometime in November or December of 2023.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/radiotimes.com\/technology\/gaming\/assassins-creed-mirage-release-date\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage<\/a> is releasing on the 12th October 2023, so Ubisoft might want to leave a bit of breathing space between them so not to overwhelm Assassin Creed fans\u2019 wallets all at once.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the Meta Quest 3 releasing in Autumn 2023, Ubisoft will be keen to get Nexus out of the door and in good shape for Christmas, as many might be lucky enough to get the VR system \u2013 if they aren\u2019t on Santa\u2019s naughty list of course \u2013 and will be looking for games to play.<\/p> <h2><strong>Can I pre-order Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, you cannot pre-order Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus, but you can <a href=\"\/\/www.oculus.com\/experiences\/quest\/5812519008825194\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">wishlist<\/a> it on the Oculus store to get notifications for the game.<\/p>\n<p>If we were to guess the price, our best estimate would be somewhere in the region of \u00a324.99 as other Ubisoft VR titles such as Star Trek: Bridge Crew and Transference VR have hovered between \u00a320 and \u00a325 in the past.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as there is more information regarding a pre-order, how much the game will cost and if there are any bonuses or special editions, we will be sure to update you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Which consoles and platforms can play Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Assassin\u2019s Creed will be a Meta Quest exclusive \u2013 playable on the Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro and the upcoming Meta Quest 3.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no word if Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus will be coming to any other VR platforms such as PSVR 2 or SteamVR further down the line.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we will update you the moment we have more details.

Given Ubisoft\u2019s almost obsessive attention to detail, the cities are sure to be chock-full of things to do and see whilst offering ample parkour.<\/p>\n<p>NPCs are said to react to your VR shenanigans, so if you\u2019re leaning right in to get a good look at a Red Coat\u2019s pores, you might just get a rifle-butt headed your way.<\/p>\n<p>Nexus will cover \u201cuntold chapters\u201d of each of the character\u2019s and cities\u2019 stories, so the whole experience should be fresh to old and new players alike.<\/p>\n<p>Jumping down from heights to assassinate foes is sure to be a butterfly-inducing affair with the realistic depiction of depth. Leaps of faith aren\u2019t confirmed, but we can only image the mettle we\u2019ll have to muster to do them.<\/p>\n<p>On the Ubisoft website, there are <a href=\"\/\/www.ubisoft.com\/en-gb\/game\/assassins-creed\/nexus-vr&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored noopener noreferrer\" noopener=\"\" noreferrer=\"\">screenshots<\/a> which appear to be in-game and visually \u2013 it\u2019s looking pretty impressive. It\u2019s unclear which system the screenshots are from, however.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Is there an Assassin\u2019s Creed Nexus trailer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>So far only a CGI trailer has been released, but it does offer us some idea of what we can expect in terms of gameplay. Check it out down below.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Assassin's\" creed=\"\" nexus=\"\" vr=\"\" official=\"\" announcement=\"\" trailer=\"\" ubisoft=\"\" forward=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_JgSWbZKg1I?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" web-share=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>The trailer begins with a man donning a Meta Quest 2 and being transported to the docks of colonial era Boston, where a shootout is taking place. From the perspective of Connor, he sneaks up behind a redcoat and plunges his tomahawk into his neck, then engages in some aerial archery.<\/p>\n<p>This transitions to Kassandra in Athens firing off an arrow into a Grecian warrior and turning to fight another with a sword.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we have Ezio perched atop the terracotta roof tiles of a Venezian terrace and swooping down to swing on some poles to get on top of some scaffolding, then plunging down on a target.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, we\u2019ll get a proper look at gameplay soon and we will add it to this page for your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Subscribe to our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/gaming-newsletter\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">free Gaming Newsletter<\/a> for weekly insights, and <strong> <a href=\"\/\/twitter.com\/RadioTimesGames&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\">follow us on Twitter<\/a> for all the latest updates.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for something to watch?
