Ubisoft has today announced exciting news at GDC 2016 and Tweeted that a new Assassin’s Creed virtual reality experience will be made available this year, even though no new games in the series are planned for release. This announcement has generated significant buzz among fans of the franchise, who are eager to see how the immersive world of Assassin’s Creed will translate into virtual reality.
Collaboration with Fox and Practical Magic
The Assassin’s Creed VR Experience is being developed in collaboration with Fox and VR company Practical Magic. This partnership aims to create a unique and engaging virtual reality experience that ties in with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie. The film, which stars Michael Fassbender, is currently in production and is set to hit theatres during the Christmas holiday season of 2016. The movie’s storyline is expected to bring a fresh perspective to the Assassin’s Creed universe, and the VR experience will likely complement this by offering fans an interactive way to explore the film’s world.

What to Expect from the VR Experience
While specific details about the Assassin’s Creed VR Experience are still under wraps, fans can expect an immersive adventure that leverages the strengths of virtual reality technology. Given the franchise’s rich history of detailed environments and intricate storylines, the VR experience will likely allow players to step into the shoes of an assassin and explore historical settings in a way that has never been possible before.
Virtual reality has the potential to revolutionize the way we experience video games and movies. By combining the two mediums, Ubisoft, Fox, and Practical Magic are poised to create a groundbreaking experience that could set a new standard for VR content. Imagine being able to walk through the bustling streets of ancient cities, scale towering buildings, and engage in intense combat, all from the comfort of your own home.
As soon as more details are announced by Ubisoft regarding the Assassin’s Creed virtual reality experience, we will keep you updated as always. Let’s hope a teaser trailer is released in the near future to whet our appetites a little more. A trailer would not only give fans a glimpse of what to expect but also help build anticipation for both the VR experience and the upcoming movie.
The integration of VR into the Assassin’s Creed franchise is a natural progression, given the series’ emphasis on exploration and immersion. Previous games have allowed players to visit meticulously recreated historical settings, from Renaissance Italy to Ancient Egypt. The VR experience will likely continue this tradition, offering a new level of interactivity and engagement.
The announcement of the Assassin’s Creed VR Experience is an exciting development for fans of the franchise and virtual reality enthusiasts alike. With the combined expertise of Ubisoft, Fox, and Practical Magic, this project has the potential to deliver a truly unique and memorable experience. Stay tuned for more updates as we eagerly await further information about this groundbreaking venture.
