Assassin s Creed is getting a tie-in VR experience later this year, but whatever a VR experience is, according to co-developer Practical Magic it s not a game.

Technically, it s a spinoff of a spinoff by Practical Magic and Fox based around the Assassin s Creed movie starring Michael Fassbender that's due to arrive around Christmastime. All we know at this point is that the historical (and I use that word lightly) side of the film will take place in the 15th century. Here s Fassbender looking over a 15th-century roof.
Whether we ll be turning our heads to look around various locations in the film (like the Jack the Ripper trailer for Assassin s Creed: Syndicate) or just admiring the Fass from various angles, Ubisoft must be convinced that it s far enough from a game not to break its pledge to allow Assassin s Creed a year-long rest.
