It seems that Facebook has signed a deal with Ubisoft to produce VR-exclusive versions of games of the latter’s most popular series, with Assassin’s Creed and Splinter Cell being mentioned by name.

That’s according to a report from The Information which is behind a subscription, but the top half was posted in a tweet from famous games-award-show-haver Geoff Keighley, which reveals that Facebook is looking to bolster its portfolio of games for the company’s Oculus VR headsets.

To that end, Facebook is said to have signed deals with Ubisoft that will allow them to bring ‘exclusive VR versions’ of popular games Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell.

There’s no confirmation from Ubisoft or Oculus on this news as of yet, so there’s no word on when or if it’ll be a conversion of one of the existing games, but we continue to hope we’ll see Mr Sam Fisher return at some point soon.
