The two companies confirmed as much in 2020, promising to deliver exciting adventures with developers Red Storm and Ubisoft Reflections at the helm.

Ubisoft has dabbled in its fair share of virtual reality-centric experiences in recent years.

And, yes, the Far Cry 3 VR game even features an appearance by fan-favorite villain Vaas Montenegro. Apparently, Ubisoft has big plans for Assassin's Creed's VR outing on Oculus, too.
