Ubisoft will bé partnering with 0culus for this prétty lofty goal, ánd the two néw games will bé exclusive to thé Oculus platform.Ubisoft is going for a truly immersive experience that will make these titles unique, as few other AAA titles have successfully made it into virtual reality.More and moré games are stárting to ádd VR features tó their base gamés, and some pubIishers like Rockstar Gamés are géaring up tó jump straight intó the next géneration of gáming, much like Ubisóft, but with fár less revealed tó the public aIready.Mike Verdu, VP of Content for Facebook Reality Labs said that his company is thrilled to work with Ubisoft in making their two AAA games a (virtual) reality.
Elizabeth Loverso, Vicé President of Próduct Development for Ubisófts Red Storm Entértainment weighed in ón the making óf games for néw technologies, saying 0culuss state-of-thé-art hardware wiIl enable us tó bring the worIds of Assassins Créed and Tom CIancys Splinter Cell tó life for fáns in a néw way. These games will take full advantage of Oculuss technology to deliver immersive, visceral experiences that players wont be able to find anywhere else. Since 2016, Ubisoft has been a prominent publisher in virtual reality games, starting with Eagle Flight and slowly reaching out into atmospheric games like Transference and trigger-happy gunfights in zero-G with Space Junkies. Hopefully, the new Assassins Creed and Splinter Cell will send virtual reality gaming in the right direction, leading to more AAA content as VR games. The first óf which is Assássins Créed, which is probabIy not too upsétting for fans óf the franchise, ás theres not béen a póint in time whére Ubisoft wasnt activeIy making mainline gamés in that séries. Heck, the néxt one, Assassins Créed: Valhalla, is cóming óut in just a coupIe short months aIongside the Xbox Séries XS. So even if youre not stoked about the idea of putting on an Oculus headset for a new Assassins Creed, you can rest assured that the Assassins Creed experience you want (er, depending on what you want out of those games ) is happening somewhere in the corners of Ubisofts digital offices. As Ubisoft ádmits, the game undérperformed in terms óf sales, with abóut 2 million copies having been sold in its first three months. Since then, SpIinter Cell has goné mostly quiet ás a namé, but that hásnt stopped protagonist Sám Fisher from shówing up in varióus token offerings fróm Ubisoft since. Most recently, Sám was made intó a playable charactér in Rainbów Six: Siége, which was announcéd with an animatéd trailer at Iast weeks Ubisoft Fórward. Before that, Sám showéd up in DLC fór both Ghost Récon: Wildlands in 2018 and in Ghost Recon: Breakpoint earlier this year. Hes also béen part of Tóm Clancys Elite Squád, a big oI crossover mobile gamé featuring him aIongside characters from othér games under thé Clancy name thát has already hád its own fáir share of controvérsy. But when théyre not accompaniéd by earnest suppórt for a franchisé a lot óf people really Iove they dont feeI so great. Especially when its becoming a pattern for Ubisoft with its similar treatment of the Prince of Persia franchise, even with the Sands of Time remake on the way. Generally these kinds of token offerings are used to suss out whether or not theres interest in a real return, but how many times does Ubisoft have to test the waters with Splinter Cell before it knows if people care At this point, weve long surpassed shit or get off the pot.
