'Mirage' was described as an homage to the first Assassin's game and plays out in ninth-century Baghdad. Ubisoft also showed off a coming 'Assassin's Creed Mirage' addition the franchise tailored for play on videogame consoles and personal computers.

'I hope that it shows players and developers and publishers that big brands can be awesome in VR.' 'This is a full proper 'Assassin's Creed' game in VR,' Votypka said.

Real-world moves, while holding controllers, will be used to duel, throw axes, move with stealth and more in the game, demonstrations showed. Players will see through the virtual eyes of Ezio Auditore da Firenze in Renaissance Italy Kassandra in Ancient Greece, and Connor in Colonial America in a storyline that lets them slip in and out of the memories of ancestors. The new VR component will also add an interesting double-layer to the series, whose plot often centers around modern-day protagonists entering their own virtual historic world. The game will be available on Meta's latest VR headsets known as Quest, formerly branded as Oculus. 'It's still more like video game violence as opposed to trying to simulate what a real hidden-blade kill might be like.' 'You can't torture them,' Votypka said of assassination targets. Game designers tuned down the violence of assassination scenes, making them quick and controlling where targets could be struck. There was also discussion early on by the team how realistic it should be for someone in VR to sneak up on a person and stab them to death, according to Votypka. 'Games that work best in VR are obviously the ones that feature a lot of physicality so it allows us to make something different and better in some ways than the non VR version,' Votypka said.Ī team at Ubisoft was devoted to making sure people who get disoriented or nauseous from dashing about in VR are comfortable, adding features like quick ways for characters to 'teleport' from one spot to another. Gameplay in 'Assassin's Creed' involves a lot of climbing, jumping between buildings swinging from poles, running, combat and more.
