This week’s picks

“Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR”

The first completely new work for VR in Ubisoft’s popular stealth action game “Assassin’s Creed” series. The protagonists of the past “Assassin’s Creed” series will awaken new memories of three legendary assassins and take on the challenge of thwarting Abstergo Corporation’s ambition to gain the power to control people’s hearts.

Like the original Assassin’s Creed series, the main story unfolds on a vast open-world field map. You will take on a variety of missions in settings such as Renaissance Italy, ancient Greece, and colonial America.

As those who have played the Assassin’s Creed series will know, the three legendary Assassins who will bring back memories from these stages are:“Ezio Auditore”, “Cassandra”, “Connor”. In addition, several historical figures will appear, including Leonardo da Vinci, who supported Ezio in battle.

In addition, assassination (stealth kill) using the “Assassin Blade” is still available, and has been changed to an intuitive operation unique to VR, allowing you to perform it with a flick of your wrist. In addition to the Assassin Blade, there are also bows and arrows, swords, throwing knives, and crossbows, all of which can be operated just like the real thing.

You can also do “Social Stealth”, which allows you to blend in with crowds to deceive your enemies, and “Eagle Dive”, a huge jump from a high place that is synonymous with the “Assassin’s Creed” series. Both experiences are experienced from a VR first-person perspective, dramatically increasing the immersion. In addition, measures have been taken to prevent VR sickness, and it seems that each action can be enjoyed naturally.

This work was announced at Facebook Connect held in September 2020 as a set with the stealth action game Splinter Cell. Later, development of “Splinter Cell” was discontinued, and the fate of “Assassin’s Creed” was uncertain, but it was officially announced at the “Meta Quest Gaming Showcase” in June 2023. It will be released after 3 years since the first announcement. The ability to (eagle) dive into a world that recreates the actual history of the Assassin’s Creed series alone makes this a must-see for fans.

however,As of this writing, the in-game language is not Japanese.Publisher UbisoftThis was announced on Official X (formerly Twitter).

It is unknown whether it will be supported in the same way as the original series in the future. As the “Assassin’s Creed” series is extremely popular in Japan, future announcements are eagerly awaited.

Introducing a new cover for Meta Quest 2 that is comfortable to wear!

Mogura is selling a “VR cover” that prevents makeup and dirt from sticking. Attaching a cover to the Meta Quest 2 facial parts cushion prevents sweat and sebum from adhering to it. Made of 100% cotton, it is gentle on the skin and soft to wear. What’s more, it’s machine washable, and since it’s a set of two, you don’t have to worry about one being washed.
