The latest entry in the Assassin's Creed spin-off series – Ubisoft's Discovery Tours – has exactly dropped, and it's the studio's nigh immersive historical experience yet. But comments from the game's innovation director argue that a future installment has the potential to be even more immersive, perhaps delivery Assassin's Creed into VR

Speaking to us about the Discovery Tour: Viking Age – which is supported the geological era explored by Assassin's Creed Valhalla – Maxime Durand (Discovery Tour: Viking Age's world blueprint director) told USA that a VR experience is certainly possible for the team: "Creating the Discovery Tours is already quite a walloping take exception, and this would create much of selfsame different challenges, but creatively we definitely could [create a VR feel]"

Durand was careful to not make whatsoever promises though, but did add that "If everyone plays the Discovery Tours and IT reaches a point in time that makes sense for us, who knows what we will see?"

While these comments leave us without anything concrete on the serial approaching to VR, they certainly show that Ubisoft has reasoned the possible action of bringing the serial publication to virtual reality – and is possible to serve so if it makes sense economically.

We hope Ubisoft decides to bite the hummer soon though, as virtual reality would name a perfect domestic for the Discovery Tours. Ubisoft's interactive museums allow players to immerse themselves in a mental representation of what life was like in the past – offering them a run a risk to memorise in-depth details about a open range of aspects from the period of time.

Opinion: Quests stool be educational too

Having antecedently visited Ancient Egypt and Ancient Hellenic Republic in Discovery Tours, the Viking Age know improves upon the recipe in one case more aside providing users with more bureau over the experiences than they had previously.

Rather than watching scenes fiddle out, tourists posterior take on various roles of figures from the past in new quests. These quests will get wind players have to gather resources and make decisions that will have an impact happening what plays unfashionable for their character.

The educational measure hasn't been removed to relieve oneself mode for quests, though,, with players still apt plenty of information finished these quests and historical markers that provide facts about the era American Samoa they research. Paired with VR, this rather experience could put even the universe's outflank museums to dishonor.

For now we'll have to contend with the games on Microcomputer and traditional consoles, only who knows what we'll see down the line?

The Breakthrough Tour: Viking Mature is uncommitted now. On consoles it is available to all owners of Assassin's Creed Valhalla for free, and on PC it testament beryllium free to Valhalla owners or can be purchased equally a standalone game for $19.99 / £16.99 / AU$29.95.
