While the coronavirus pandemic led to the cancellation of major industry events such as E3 and Gamescom, game publishers and studios have still managed to move ahead this year with making major game announcements virtually. As announced earlier this year,Ubisoft is next in line to showcase their upcoming titles, with the company sharing some new details on what to expect from its Ubisoft Forward showcase this weekend that will show some previously-announced titles, alongside some brand new ones.
Ahead of its reveal event this Sunday,Ubisoft announced some new detailsand a fresh trailer for Ubisoft Forward, its digital presentation highlighting upcoming titles from the publisher in the near future. Specifically, the new trailer showcased some of the games that we can expect to see at the presentation this weekend, includingAssassin’s Creed Valhalla,Watch Dogs Legion, andHyper Scape, presumably alongside reveals of other unannounced games.
One of the new titles expected to be revealed at the showcase isFar Cry 6, which isreported to includeBreaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito as its villain. And given Ubisoft’s track record, it’s likely that we’ll see some new reveals from the studio’s other franchises such asJust Dance,The Division, and more. It also remains to be seen if we’ll check out anything from the studio’s previously-announced projects such asGods & MonstersandRainbow Six Quarantine, which we haven’t heard much from since E3 2019.
In addition to the trailer and footage shown, Ubisoft also teased in the video that the company will be giving out a free copy ofWatch Dogs 2on PC for those that tune in to the event. Additional rewards and prizes will also be given out before the show alongside developer interviews and more.
