<p>During PlayStation State of Play, Vertigo Games, in collaboration with Eidos-Montréal and Maze Theory, proudly unveiled Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow, a fully immersive stealth experience set to launch later this year.</p>
<p>Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow brings back the iconic Thief franchise and reintroduces players to The City, where danger lurks around every corner and secrets are hidden in plain sight.</p>
<p>Experience the world of Thief for the first time in VR, blending classic stealth gameplay with next-gen immersion. Use your body to sneak past guards and your hands to pickpocket, pry open hidden compartments, and bypass locks through tactile interactions. Wield an array of arrows and tools to distract, disable, or eliminate threats with immersive VR archery as you climb rooftops, sneak through back alleys, and uncover secrets in a dark, steampunk-inspired world. Every heist offers multiple paths and playstyles, whether you sneak past guards unseen or take them down from the shadows.</p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63809" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_02.jpg?x67281" alt="Thief VR" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_02.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_02-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_02-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The City is a place of shadows, ruled by the tyrant Baron Ulysses Northcrest. You are Magpie, a cunning thief orphaned by Northcrest’s brutality and shaped by the streets, who steals as the only means to survive. That is, until you uncover something greater: a legendary artifact holding a legacy from the past. Use immersive VR mechanics to steal, evade, and outsmart the forces controlling The City. Unravel its darkest secrets and expose a sinister conspiracy that looms over its very foundation.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is brought to you by Vertigo Games, the award-winning creators of Metro Awakening and Arizona Sunshine, in close collaboration with Eidos-Montréal, and is currently in development by Maze Theory.</p>
<p><iframe title="Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow | Reveal Trailer" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_3QaFtaIQjk" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Richard Stitselaar, CEO of Vertigo Games: “We set out to create a VR experience where players don’t just play a thief; they become one. It’s a privilege to work alongside Eidos-Montréal and Maze Theory on such an iconic franchise and bring it to life in a way that’s never been done before. This is the kind of immersive storytelling and interactivity we believe defines the future of the medium.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Steven Gallagher, Creative Director at Eidos-Montréal: “Thief has always been about mastering the shadows, using a mix of tools and wit to navigate its dark and dangerous world. Whether you’re sneaking through or taking a more direct approach with arrows and blackjack, it’s a place full of intrigue. Seeing it reimagined in VR is incredibly exciting, bringing a whole new depth to Thief&#8217;s atmospheric world, and we can&#8217;t wait for both longtime fans and new players to experience it in virtual reality.”</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-63810" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_04.jpg?x67281" alt="Thief VR" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_04.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_04-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/ThiefVR_Reveal_Screenshot_04-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Phil White, CEO of Maze Theory: “It’s been tough keeping this one in the shadows—literally. We’ve been in full stealth mode, but now it’s time to step into the light and finally unveil Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow. The team has worked tirelessly to stay true to the spirit of the series, delivering a level of immersion unlike anything you’ve seen. This is what stealth feels like when you are the thief.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Thief VR: Legacy of Shadow is now available to wishlist on PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest, and Steam VR.</p>

<p>With <em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR</em>, Ubisoft’s flagship series crosses over into virtual reality, exclusively on Meta’s untethered Quest VR headsets.</p>
<p>Assassin’s Creed probably deserves to make the jump to virtual reality more than any other game franchise out there. The series’ very premise is essentially about virtual reality. The protagonists plug themselves into an Animus device, which is effectively a fancy VR system, to experience the memories of historical assassins that have been encoded into their descendant’s DNA.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61326" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_03-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>After a bit of faff trying to log into my Ubisoft account to link in with my Meta account, the game wasted no time sucking me into the Assassin’s Creed mythos. My living room was filled with the light blue glow of the Assassin’s Creed menu utilising the Meta Quest 3’s mixed reality passthrough camera.</p>
<p>The Assassin’s Creed chronology, which the series has fleshed out over the last fifteen years, is esoteric and multi-layered. Ubisoft has tied itself into such narrative knots that the games have had to be reinvented a couple of times.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61350" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_36-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Casually picking up <em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus</em>, with its complex background, could be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. Thankfully, the game explains everything that you need to know on how to play and enjoy the game. The tutorial takes you through the basic mechanics of sneaking, fighting, assassinating, jumping, and climbing almost straight away. As more features unlock so do the tutorials.</p>
<p>The game can be played standing or seated; you just need enough space to flail your arms about a bit. There are the usual comfort settings allowing teleport locomotion, snap rotations, and movement vignetting. If you don’t suffer from VR sickness, I recommend smooth movement and turns. If you are new to this sort of open-word movement, it takes a bit of getting used to, but actually works really well.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61340" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_24-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Playing as just another triple-A VR game, players unfamiliar with Assassin’s Creed will have no trouble getting into the nuts and bolts of Nexus. If, however, you have been following Assassin’s Creed game for a while, you are in for a real treat.</p>
<p>The intro hints at the experience being something special. That mixed reality sequence that has you in your home, your room around you, making your Meta Quest 3 experience part of the game, really is “meta”.  The game positions the player as a hacker working undercover as an Abstergo Industries operative whilst on the payroll of the modern-day Assassins.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61338" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_22-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>For those not in the know, here’s a brief rundown on the basis for the Assassin’s Creed games. There are two factions at play: the Templars, a group that wishes to shape human progress and the Assassins who believe that humans should forge their own path.  Both of these groups and their predecessors have been in conflict for over a thousand years. To achieve their goals, the Templars seek to employ ancient and powerful artifacts via their modern-day front company, Abstergo Industries.</p>
<p>Those artifacts, Pieces of Eden, were created by a precursor race, the Isu, who were worshipped as gods in prehistory, their existences forming legends and myths. These objects have been discovered and lost throughout history. Using a device called the Animus, the Templars use DNA memories to recreate the past and find the location of these artifacts. The Assassins are in a race to get to these objects before the Templars.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61344" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_29-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p><em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus</em> allows players to revisit characters from across the franchise. The game’s first stop is with Eizo Auditore da Firenze, the Italian nobleman and Assassin from <em>Assassin’s Creed II</em>, <em>Brotherhood </em>and <em>Revelations</em>.</p>
<p>The tutorial sequence has players performing short quests, such as Eizo Auditore da Firenze, retrieving his sword in 1509 Venice.  retrieving his sword in 1509 Venice. As with the main games, stealth is key. You can physically crouch or press a button. This is the point when the game’s sense of immersion really hit me. I was in a room, hiding behind some casks avoiding the guard. I watched their gaze as I sneaked past. I ACTUALLY sneaked past. Rather than just control the assassin with a gamepad, I WAS the assassin. The next room had a guard on the door, I threw a cup. The guard, distracted, left his post and I scurried past.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61331" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_08-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Next. it was time to use the game’s iconic hidden blade, by pressing the trigger and twisting my wrist to release the blade. My first attempt had me stumble, alerting the guard- you really have to jab the blade in. It feels a lot more real, and a bit disturbing when you have to physically stab your opponent. The next area was a courtyard and it was up to me to either dispatch or sneak past the guards. One hapless guard fell to my hidden blade, the others lived to tell the tale.</p>
<p>Climbing is a big part of the Assassin’s Creed games. In Nexus, the game has you physically climbing by reaching for ledges and pulling yourself up. After a bit of climbing and jumping, I reached my sword. The game then branched off showing how to attack and parry.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61334" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_12-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>Before long I was in the Italian moonlight with fireworks in the background. In front of the fireworks the text “Ubisoft Presents” appeared and then the <em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus</em> logo. It gave me goosebumps and it was cemented that, yes, this is a real Assassin’s Creed game.</p>
<p>As with the main Assassin’s Creed series, the game has players trying to locate magical Isu artifacts, in this first of the three parts of the game, Ezio once again teams up with Leonardo da Vinci to locate the Staff of Hermes.</p>
<p>Being a Meta Quest exclusive, the game is tailored for the performance of the equipment. The compromise of untethered, standalone VR (and MR) means that the visuals may not be as good as those of a high-end PC or even the PlayStation VR2. But they are still very good and what would have been considered high-end PC VR graphics only a few years ago.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61348" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_33-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>The game then took me back to the setting of <em>Assassin’s Creed Odyssey</em> as the mercenary Kassandra in 405 BC Greece. Once again, the player is charged with obtaining an artifact and must confront a Templar agent.</p>
<p>Ancient Greece is even more impressive than Renaissance Italy. For this second sequence, the game opens up, allowing players to traverse the map with a bit more freedom.</p>
<p>The final character that you revisit is Conner Kenway from <em>Assassin’s Creed 3</em>. Caught up in a prison break in colonial-era Boston the game has players running across rooftops and dispatching enemies with arrows and Conner’s signature tomahawk.</p>

<p>The play areas for each character, whilst quite large, are more constrained and curated than in the main Assassin’s Creed games. There’s also a bird’s eye view of the map that can be used to plan your approaches.</p>
<p>The game is a lot more physical than the main Assassin’s Creed games. Swinging your sword, parrying, climbing, and swinging all require a bit of effort rather than just pressing buttons. It&#8217;s the same with dodging, using your hidden blade, throwing knives and bow. The result, though, is a more immersive experience than any other Assassin’s Creed game.</p>
<p>The Meta Quest 3, being such a comfortable and lightweight device, allowed me to play extended sessions in the game. This is handy as <em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus</em> is no simple VR “Experience” it’s a full-length game that provides gamers with 15-25 hours of gameplay. It’s not a game that I’d recommend that you put down as the VR controls, whilst easy to pick up, are also easily forgotten, requiring another look at the tutorials, which can be a chore.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-61332" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassins Creed Nexus VR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Assassins_Creed_Nexus_VR_10-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>The game visuals are pretty good for a standalone VR game. There are some compromises, but the game’s immersion and the details in the environments mean that you are likely to not be scrutinising the level of ambient occlusion or counting light sources.</p>
<p><em>Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR</em> is a “must-have” Meta Quest 3 game. I feel for Assassin’s Creed fans who don’t have access to a Quest headset, as this is a very special Assassin’s Creed game, one that allows players to actually be the assassin for the first time.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<span class="cb-itemprop" itemprop="reviewBody"><p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Ubisoft has released a new Gameplay Overview sharing how the development team took the fifteen-year-old Assassin’s Creed franchise to a new level of immersion with Assassin’s Creed Nexus in Virtual Reality, exclusively on Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest Pro.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">For the first time in the franchise, players will be able to embody three different assassins in first person across three different time periods, and physically perform Iconic Assassin’s Creed actions like wielding the Hidden Blade, exploring cities from above with parkour, engaging in combat and mastering stealth. In Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, the player is an elite hacker operating undercover for the Brotherhood at Abstergo. They will delve into the memories of iconic assassins Ezio, Connor and Kassandra, who have each crossed paths with the artifacts Abstergo seeks.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Assassin&#039;s Creed Nexus VR: Gameplay Overview | Meta Quest 2 &amp; Meta Quest 3" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oQuCy8nfCq0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The development team gave extraordinary attention to detail in parkour mechanics, crafting large, open urban environments, called open-maps, that truly come to life in VR. Players will be able to traverse them intuitively with a sense of freedom and realism like never before.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Stealth is at the center of the Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR experience, allowing players to physically sneak around or use social stealth to blend in and tail a target without being detected. The interactive environment presents endless opportunities to create unique infiltration scenarios. To distract guards, players can make use of the whistling feature, or use throwable objects to manipulate their surroundings and outmaneuver their enemies with finesse by performing intuitive physical actions with the Meta Quest controllers.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60361" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/acnx-screenshot-06.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassin's Creed Nexus" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/acnx-screenshot-06.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/acnx-screenshot-06-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/acnx-screenshot-06-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR also introduces innovative physical gestures for blocking, parrying, and executing takedowns, providing an engaging and empowering combat system, with specific sets of weaponry for each Assassin’s arsenal. Whether you prefer to throw Connor’s tomahawk at enemies, draw Kassandra’s bow mid-air, or perform thrilling air assassinations with Ezio’s hidden blades, the options are yours to explore.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Years of development have led to Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR featuring a comprehensive suite of comfort features to accommodate players of all types with VR sensitivity. Players can remove partially or completely locomotion through space, use the Fear of Heights feature to reduce vertigo, and many more options that are fully customisable to meet the player&#8217;s needs.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60360" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/vr-features-promo-01.jpg?x67281" alt="Assassin's Creed Nexus" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/vr-features-promo-01.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/vr-features-promo-01-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/vr-features-promo-01-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>

<p>Zero Latency, the creator of the largest free-roam VR network in the world, has announced the spine-tingling Outbreak, the most advanced free-roam VR zombie game ever made.</p>
<p>A thrilling zombie shooter adventure on a truly gigantic scale, Outbreak will have players battling through hordes of the undead, fighting for survival and racing against time to save humanity, with an epic boss battle finale unlike anything seen in VR before. With ultra-realistic zombies developed from motion capture of live actors and memorable, action-packed gameplay moments for up to 8 players across the largest VR gameplay arenas you’ve ever seen, you’ll have over 2,000 square meters of world to explore.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-60320" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Zero-Latency-Outbreak.jpg?x67281" alt="Zero Latency - Outbreak" width="1280" height="720" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Zero-Latency-Outbreak.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Zero-Latency-Outbreak-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Zero-Latency-Outbreak-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>“Outbreak is our most epic adventure yet, and we can’t wait for everybody to play through this terrifying, exciting game that is unlike any other on the market,” said Tim Ruse, CEO at Zero Latency. “Our dedicated development team has been hard at work on making Outbreak the most polished and thrilling experience possible.

<p>The story of Outbreak sees you embark on an adrenaline-fueled journey, where your team of soldiers must race against time to find a cure for the zombie virus.

<p>Secrets are afoot as you and your team of contractors use a mix of espionage and tactical bullet defence in PlayStation&#8217;s newest, high adrenaline virtual shooter, <em>Firewall Ultra</em> VR.</p>
<p>Playing within a full 360 degrees environment Firewall Ultra gets the blood pumping and you head in to battle as a continuation, of sorts, from 2018&#8217;s PSVR Firewall: Zero Hour.</p>
<p><em>Firewall Ultra</em> is multiplayer and you start out as a contractor with a team of Node, Skip, Nala, Meiko and Fang.</p>
<p>Each have specialised skills and you&#8217;ll need these to get yourself through the game.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s PVP or PVE modes and you load up and aim to survive.</p>
<p>Graphically Firewall Ultra is astounding. Gritty, moody and totally immersive.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Firewall Ultra - Launch Trailer | PS VR2 Games" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/laHSqoOm0Fc" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>However what can break the immersion for some, including me, is the use of the PSVR2&#8217;s tactile controller buttons to initiate, well, everything. From movements, load-outs, shooting and more, each is aligned with a button on the controller.</p>
<p>Perhaps a better way to have done this would have been the use of gestures (although I am aware that gesture controls can have an interesting rate of failure &#8211; see our review of <a href="https://www.shanethegamer.com/video-gaming/reviews/hellsweeper-vr-meta-quest-ii-review/">Hellsweeper VR</a>).</p>
<p>None the less, weapons and tech on offer surpassed my expectations and when you&#8217;re in the heat of a fight and almost feel bullets whizzing past or the heat of explosions full zoning in is assured.</p>
<p>Maps are derived from the first Firewall title, yet different enough to keep those that may have played Firewall: Zero Hour in-game and mostly satisfied.</p>
<p>In all <em>Firewall Ultra</em> is a worthy first person shooter in VR, and best played with a headset. This said <em>Firewall</em> <em>Ultra</em> isn&#8217;t exactly the &#8216;Ultra&#8217; PSVR2 game to own, but it is worthy of a play, and play more than once.</p>

<p>The fiery dark depths of hell as it is meant to be experienced.</p>
<p><em>Hellsweeper VR</em> places you in to the unforgiving landscape of fire and brimstone with varying demonic entities all around, all having their sights set on you.</p>
<p>Developer, Mixed Realms has admittedly done an outstanding job of creating a hellish atmosphere, but gameplay needs some work.</p>
<p>From boss fights through to forging your way through the waves of enemies that you will come at you, you&#8217;ll get up to speed real quick utilising differing weapons&#8230; and trying to survive.</p>
<p>Weapons are summoned via gestures and you can upgrade them too, however, it is these gestures that can cause problems.</p>
<p>More often than not I&#8217;d find myself summoning a weapon I needed only for the game to think I was conjuring up a differing one, not recognising the gestures accurately.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-59739" src="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR.jpg?x67281" alt="HellsweeperVR" width="1920" height="1080" srcset="https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR.jpg 1920w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR-300x169.jpg 300w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR-768x432.jpg 768w, https://www.shanethegamer.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HellsweeperVR-1536x864.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px" /></p>
<p>In moments of do or die, having an overly large enemy in my face, literally, and needing something beefy and deadly for a good melee smashing I&#8217;d have to cycle through gestures to try and equip the weapon I needed while the demonic entity pummelled me. Nine out of ten times, I&#8217;d get the exact opposite weapon required.</p>
<p>This was super frustrating to say the least and at times, for me, near-to game breaking.</p>
<p>Your arsenal is a mix of melee, projectile and magic.</p>
<p>Movement is excellent however. The game proceeds at a fast pace and usually there&#8217;s a lot going on. You don&#8217;t get the time to see the sights in Hell, which is a bit of a shame due to the level of detail in your environment.</p>
<p>Wall run, back-flip and more as you defy gravity and take down evil.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Hellsweeper VR | Launch Trailer [ESRB]" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/q5t90Lo8TRY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Still, persevering on, in Hell, you can have pets.</p>
<p>Your Hell Hound is your silent best friend. You can use him to help you in battles and while he doesn&#8217;t say a lot, in a tight spot he truly is your best ally.</p>
<p><em>Hellsweeper VR</em> has varying modes of play to. Co-op, multiplayer and a rogue mode.</p>
<p><em>Hellsweeper VR</em> was a game I had been looking forward to. A lot.</p>
<p>It most definitely appealed to my dark soul, and in some levels it did not disappoint. More work on the accuracy of gesture recognition needs to be done, if this gets sorted, Hellsweeper VR will be one of the ultimate VR titles this year.</p>

<p>Ubisoft has announced that Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR, the first AAA VR title of the franchise that allows players to embody master assassins and physically perform their iconic actions in first person, will release on November 16th, 2023.</p>
<p>The new trailer unveils Abstergo’s sinister scheme to manipulate people’s beliefs using ancient technology. To defend Free Will, players will embark on a journey through the newly discovered memories of three master assassins from three different eras, each featuring their very own set of weapons for a unique gameplay experience. They will join Connor in the midst of the American Revolution, blend into the crowds, and dispatch foes with a powerful tomahawk throw. Players will also embrace Kassandra&#8217;s world in Ancient Greece, draw her bow, and perform the iconic leap of faith from historic monuments. Lastly, they will employ Ezio&#8217;s stealthy hidden blades to discreetly eliminate their enemies against the backdrop of the Italian Renaissance, and uncover the secrets concealed in their memories. Players will have to navigate Abstergo’s scheme as an undercover hacker, hired by their cyber-security leader, an ambitious and bright woman named Dominika Wilk, whose methods tend to be quite unorthodox.  This new character in the AC lore is played by renowned actress Morena Baccarin.</p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Assassin&#039;s Creed Nexus VR: Official Gameplay Reveal | Meta Quest 2 &amp; Meta Quest 3" width="1200" height="675" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KQaqwqCeuS8" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>With development led by Ubisoft Red Storm*, Assassin’s Creed Nexus is the very first installment allowing players to play a master Assassin in first person. Players will choose how to achieve their objectives as they make their way through open maps and use their hands to block, parry, counterattack, and duel a variety of enemies. Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR is a full-length Assassin’s Creed game that features all the iconic gameplay from the series, including parkour, combat, stealth and the dazzling leap of faith, all with an entirely new story, only available in VR.</p>
<p>Players will get to immerse themselves in the action with weapons including bow and arrows, swords, throwing knives, the tomahawk, the crossbow, the Hidden Blade, and bombs. They will explore iconic historical cities including Venice, Athens and Colonial Boston. Each environment features 360-degree navigation, allowing them to climb and parkour freely as they meet civilians and historical figures, all of whom react to the player’s VR actions. They will feel the tension of stealth as they sneak up on a target from behind or surprise them with an air assassination. They can blend into a crowd or distract enemies with objects in the environment.</p>
<p>Years of development have led to Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR featuring a comprehensive suite of comfort features to accommodate players of all types with VR sensitivity. Players can add Assassin’s Creed Nexus VR to their Wishlist on the Meta Quest Store page Assassin&#8217;s Creed Nexus VR on Meta Quest 2 | Meta.</p>
