Ubisoft Announces Ubisoft Forward Online Presentation For July

It has been enough time to consider reflecting on the cancellation of this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) as a long enough period ago since the announcement was made back in March. The organizers for the show made the decision with the city of Los Angeles under state of emergency due to the ongoing pandemic and have shared to reevaluate the premise of the event for the new efforts in 2021.

Following the announcement, both Ubisoft alongside Microsoft have shared to be pursuing alternatives in the digital medium to project new information for the coming year in replacement for this coming June. Since then, Microsoft has announced Xbox 20/20 to relay all platform-related news each month for the majority of the titular year.

And now today, the French publisher has announced Ubisoft Forward, an online presentation to share new details on all upcoming projects from its associated teams across the globe.

“With physical gaming shows around the world postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ubisoft will be hosting its first digital conference, called Ubisoft Forward,” the announcement reads. “Get ready for an E3-style showcase with plenty of exclusive game news, exciting reveals, and much more.”

It is expected that Ubisoft will share more information on upcoming projects such as the recently announced Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and the awaited official release for Roller Champions at the show. There also happens to be a bulk of looming details that need to be addressed for other awaited properties as well.

Ubisoft happened to delay a myriad of titles arranged for 2020 release, but since then has yet to share an update on the projects. The publisher told that Watch Dogs: Legion, Rainbow Six Quarantine, and God & Monsters will be delayed to properly meet expectations for the teams behind the projects and the following player base. These titles were then implicated to be also shipping with respected versions for next-generation hardware when the systems arrive later on.

Yves Guillemot, Ubisoft CEO told that five big budget titles are expected to release within the next year back in February. Three are already known to be receiving a new release in the current fiscal year while the remaining two were understood to be the then-unnamed Assassin’s Creed title and a new mainline entry for the Far Cry series.
