Assassin's Creed will be taking to VR, with it being expected that the dynamic game would be a hit in virtual reality.

A virtual reality version of Assassin's Creed, a blockbuster gaming franchise, will be available by the end of the year, the game's developer, French videogame giant Ubisoft, said Monday.

According to Ubisoft, players would be able to play as earlier protagonists from the franchise, enabling them to do parkour and use the hidden wrist blades.

"Being able to feel what it is like to become a master assassin is going to be a huge draw for players," the game's senior creative director David Votypka told an AFP reporter during a Ubisoft Forward showcase of upcoming games.

"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. It is worth noting that Assassin's Creed is highly dynamic and full of climbing, jumping between buildings, swinging from poles, and even combat.

It was also reported that Ubisoft dedicated a team to ensuring that people who get nauseous from the experience are comfortable, adding features such as teleporting characters from one spot to another with ease.

Votypka revealed that there were discussions about the level of realism the game should have, especially in terms of sneaking up on a person and stabbing them to death.

"It's still more like video game violence as opposed to trying to simulate what a real hidden-blade kill might be like," he added.

AFP said players would be able to 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.

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

This comes after it was reported that Assassin's Creed was going to have a mobile version, with a Codename Jade free-to-play version of the game taking to the app stores set during the time of the Qin Dynasty in China.
