Promising “updates and news on multiple games”
Ubisoft Forward is returning this September. Ubisoft’s very own not-E3 livestream will “reveal updates and news on multiple games and projects”, Ubisoft say. Before that - on this Thursday July 7th, even - the publisher are going to broadcast an in-depth look on their lost-at-sea live service pirate ‘em up Skull And Bones.
It’ll have changed a lot since then, however. A post on theUbisoft news sitesays that Thursday will offer “an in-depth look at the upcoming open world multiplayer pirate game inspired by the Indian Ocean during the Golden Age of Piracy.” It’ll be broadcaston YouTubeandTwitchon July 7th at 11am PT/7pm BST/8pm CEST.
Ubisoft Forward, meanwhile, will be streamed online, also on YouTube and Twitch, on September 10th at noon PT/8pm BST/9pm CEST. That’s where we should get updates on Ubisoft’s various other projects, of which there are many. I’ve no idea what will be at the show, but you’d hope to see more ofAvatar: Frontiers Of Pandora, given it’s due this year. ThePrince Of Persia: Sands Of Time remake also, and the much delayedThe Settlerscomeback. Plus, presumably there will besomethingFar Cryand Assassin’s Creed shaped, even if only new expansions for previous games.
Longer bets would be something on the stealth announcedSplinter Cell remakeorthe open world Star Wars game. The lose-your-house bets might be the live serviceAssassin’s Creed Infinityor, ha ha,Beyond Good & Evil 2.
Given Skull And Bones has also had its own eight-year odyssey witha reportedly troubled development, maybe anything is possible. I’m looking forward to seeing what that game even is now when Ubisoft show it again on Thursday.
