Ubisoft kicked off its Forward presentation last year to cover E3"s absence, offering an online event for fans that explored the various projects the company was working on. With E3 officially returning this year with its own digital event, Ubisoft has confirmed it will be reappearing on the popular platform, and it is carrying on with the Ubisoft Forward name.
The presentation will begin on June 12 at 12pm PT. Unfortunately, no information was shared regarding what Ubisoft plans to show off during its big event. However, there are some likely candidates that may show up.
Ubisoft actually held two Forward presentations in 2020, and combined, they showed off Far Cry 6, Hyper Scape, Assassin"s Creed Valhalla, Watch Dogs: Legion, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Riders Republic, among others experiences.
While a majority of the aforementioned games have now released, several including Far Cry 6, Riders Republic, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake suffered significant delays. The games are likely to receive fresh launch windows during the 2021 presentation. Other missing titles like Rainbow Six Quarantine (now with a new name), Beyond Good and Evil 2, Skull and Bones, and Roller Champions may get to be in the spotlight again as well.
Adding to that, don"t forget that Ubisoft and Facebook are working together to develop a couple of VR games, specifically surrounding the Assassin"s Creed and Splinter Cell franchises, and there is a Star Wars game in the early stages of development. As with every year, Ubisoft will have new games to reveal during the show, and teasers should begin airing before E3 formally kicks off.
