Ubisoft is currently hiring for an “unannounced AAA VR project”.
The job listings, for a variety of roles including character artist, level designer and narrative designer, are Ubisoft’s Dusseldorf studio in Germany. The job listings state the applicants will be working on “one of Ubisoft’s greatest IPs which will be developed across multiple studios”. Ubisoft Dusseldorf is one of the three studios that make up Ubisoft Blue Byte, developer of the Settlers and Anno series, and is also currently collaborating with Massive Entertainment on its untitled James Cameron’s Avatar project.
Ubisoft has a history in VR, although its never really explored its biggest IPs, like Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, The Division or Rainbow Six, in the VR medium. Up to now, the publisher has mostly worked on small-to-mid scale VR games such as the really rather good Space Junkies, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Eagle Flight and Werewolves Within.
I would love to play an Assassin's Creed experience in VR.
Greatest? Hmmm, that rules out Splinter Cell then which has always seemed somewhat niche. Like you, I believe Assassin's Creed is most likely unless it's Just Dance VR!
System Specs: MSI NVIDIA RTX 4090 , i5 13700K CPU, 32GB DDR 4 RAM, Win 11 64 Bit OS.
Ubisoft is a bit of a mixed bag but a full-blown Far Cry VR title would be my hope. Yeah, a dance title not so much, not even a reboot of ABBA: You can Dance.

I could have sworn that I read an article a few months back that Ubisoft said they were beginning work on an Assassin's Creed VR game... I remember thinking how incredible that could potentially be.

I have a vague recollection of this conversation as well! It's buried somewhere on this forum. So perhaps this is the same news/rumor!
It's such a shame that they couldn't beat the sheer amount of entertainment that the first game had, none of the other games that followed were anywhere near as good.
