"Forget everything you've ever learnt about video games and experience them in a totally new way," the website states. "Nosulus Rift awakens senses that you haven't yet tickled."

Ubisoft San Francisco Senior Producer Jason Schroeder explained the Nosulus Rift was designed to highlight the super powered farts wielded by the player in The Fractured But Whole.

"The only way to really help people experience that strength is to really make sure that they can feel it and that means getting really close," he said.
