Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, an engaging new title from Ubisoft, presents an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience that has fans on the edge of their seats. However, this potentially game-changing release is available solely on the Meta Quest platform at present, leaving PlayStation (PS) enthusiasts in the lurch as no plans for a PSVR2 release have been disclosed so far.
Despite the disappointing news for PlayStation users, Assassin's Creed Nexus VR promises a thrilling ride for Meta Quest owners. Leveraging the power of virtual reality, it immerses players in an unrivalled gaming world that notoriously few publishers have been able to achieve on such a big scale. The game draws from its predecessors, Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin’s Creed 3, and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, repackaging their assets to create a narrative that seems a tad complex but exciting nonetheless.
By creating a blend of three earlier versions, Nexus VR offers the unique opportunity to step into the shoes of three different protagonists - Ezio, Connor, and Kassandra. Each comes with a distinctive set of abilities and moves, paying tribute to their original characters from the previous games. The diversification extends to the gameplay, which boasts key elements from a traditional Assassin's Creed game such as parkour, swordplay, and stealth. These actions are intuitively mapped onto the VR motion controls. Players are even treated to clever little features like triggering a hidden blade with a wrist flick to initiate a takedown.

The Nexus VR could likely remain an exclusive release on Meta Quest for a while. However, many anticipate that it may eventually be ported to PSVR2 in the upcoming year. This scenario is highly plausible and eagerly awaited, considering the growing popularity and demand for high-budget VR games.
Increasingly, major brands are exploring the VR space, contributing to an impressive collection of premier VR game titles that pique the interest of more casual gamers. Nevertheless, blockbusters like Nexus VR are highly coveted as they play a vital role in capturing mainstream attention and further expanding the VR gaming community. For now, an air of expectancy surrounds the PlayStation community as they hope for Nexus VR to break its exclusivity with Meta Quest and make its thrilling debut on PSVR2.
