It's the calm before the storm as far as gaming showcases are concerned, with next week seeing the games industry's biggest publishers dishing out information about new games either as part of E3, Summer Game Fest, or any of the other events taking place in June. Ubisoft is among the publishers that will be revealing new information about its games, and fans now know what it will be sharing.
The next Ubisoft Forward event will air on June 12 at 12 PM PST, with a post-show planned to start at 12:45 PM PST. The lineup will show games from most of Ubisoft's major franchises, though the headliner will be the next entry in the Rainbow Six Siege franchise. Previously dubbed Rainbow Six Quarantine, the game is being renamed for obvious reasons, and apparently being fully revealed during the show.
Fans can also expect more updates on Far Cry 6, which is slated to release later this year. There was a Far Cry 6 gameplay showcase roughly a week ago, though the new slice should offer more for fans to see. Specifically, the blog post cites diving into Yara, as well as highlighting the "action-packed" adventures that players will encounter there. It sounds similar to the last showcase, but with the game releasing in just a few months, it seems safe to assume that fans will see some new stuff.
Other, smaller highlights include Rider's Republic, which is something of a successor to Steep; and updates to some of Ubisoft's live service games, with Assassin's Creed specifically being mentioned. Rounding out the list are updates for some of Ubisoft's non-video game projects, like the Apple TV Series Mythic Quest and the movie Werewolves Within.
All of these announcements will land alongside other major showcases, including Xbox and Nintendo's big new announcements for the year. Each publisher seems to be bringing out the big guns too, so fans should be getting updates on some of the major projects that have gone radio silent because of the coronavirus pandemic.
For Ubisoft fans, specifically, confirmation that some of the publisher's biggest games will be there should be welcomed. Plus, the publisher is promising some extra "big announcements" as icing on the cake. Ubisoft has a few titles in development that haven't received updates, including Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Skull and Bones. Plus, new games are always attention grabbers during showcases like this, so Ubisoft fans might have even more to look forward to in the future.
Ubisoft's Forward presentation will air on June 12 at 12 PM PST.
