While Ubisoft has yet to officially announce Assassin's Creed Nexus, a new report claims the publisher is already planning to make a sequel to the VR game. In 2020, Ubisoft announced an exclusive Assassin's Creed game for the Oculus Quest 2. A lot has changed since then, and the game is still planned for the since renamed Meta Quest 2. According to a report from Insider Gaming's Tom Henderson, budget cuts at Meta recently led to the exclusivity deal being cancelled. Assassin's Creed Nexus will still release for the Meta Quest 2, but it could be released on additional platforms, such as PlayStation VR.
Henderson goes on to state that Assassin's Creed Nexus is too far along for plans to change, and the title will likely remain a Meta exclusive. However, Ubisoft is now considering a sequel, which would release on multiple platforms. Apparently, the company has strong expectations for Nexus, and hopes to build off that success with a follow-up game. Since Assassin's Creed Nexus will apparently feature multiple playable characters spanning the history of the series, Henderson speculates that the sequel could bring in even more favorites.
