Game news Ubisoft Forward: Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws are particularly anticipated, but we would also like to see…
E3 will rise from its ashes in 2024 after several years of absence, or at least a semblance of E3. The Summer Game Fest initiated by Geoff Keighley is always growing and this year is seeing things on a big scale. Several publishers have made the decision to relaunch the great mass of video games via a new formula by attaching their conferences to the SGF. Ubisoft could not decently miss this event and is offering players a new Forward dedicated to their productions.
Beyond Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws, we hope for much more from this direct. Several announcements and returns could make it the event of the summer. Ubisoft Forward is broadcast on Monday June 10, 2024 at 9:00 p.m. (French time) on the channels Youtube And Twitch official from the publisher.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Star Wars Outlaws
The two stars of this summer Ubisoft Forward are undoubtedly the next installment of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and the new video game adaptation of the successful Star Wars franchise. Long hoped for by fans of Japan and more particularly of its feudal period, Assassin’s Creed Shadows is finally a reality. This action-adventure game developed by Ubisoft Quebec will be released on November 15 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Teased in September 2022 under the code name “RED”, this new AC was officially revealed to the world in mid-May with a first trailer focused on the characters and the story. After the broadcast of a trailer during the Xbox Game Showcase, the Ubisoft Forward in June is an opportunity for the publisher to show a “real” gameplay video and present in more depth a highly anticipated video game.

With its second triple AAA, Ubisoft radically changes its atmosphere. Exit history and make way for science fiction and not just any science fiction. The French publisher is tackling the most famous sci-fi franchise in the world. Developed by Massive Entertainment (The Division, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora), Star Wars Outlaws places its plot between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, and follows the path of crime in the person of outlaw Kay Vess. Just a year ago, Ubisoft revealed a first trailer as well as a gameplay video. Expected for August 30, 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series Fest presented three days before by Geoff Keighley.
Confirmed games and other persistent rumors
Ubisoft has also confirmed the presence of its newly released arena shooter on PC (exclusively on Ubisoft Connect), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Imagined by the Ubisoft San Francisco teams (Rocksmith, South Park: The Annal of Destiny), XDefiant is a free-to-play first-person shooter video game released on May 21, 2024 on the machines mentioned above. The Montreuil-based publisher intends to revive the hype around the title by revealing to the general public the future of this FPS which pits various factions from its flagship franchises against each other: Far Cry, Ghost Recon, The Division, Splinter Cell and finally Watch_Dogs .
As always with this type of event, rumors are rife. While some are plausible, others are pure fiction. Several “service” games still in operation should still honor us with their presence. We logically think of Skull and Bones, Rainbow Six Siege And The Crew Motorfest with a major update. moreover, with the release of the rogue-like The Rogue Prince of Persia on May 27, Ubisoft would have every interest in reassuring fans of the license who are impatient at the idea of getting their hands on the remake of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Initially entrusted to Ubisoft Pune and Ubisoft Mumbai, the game is now in the hands of Ubisoft Montreal following chaotic development. Finally, the publisher would have everything to gain from highlighting Assassin’s Creed Jade, an open-world action-RPG intended for mobiles and focusing on China in the 3rd century BC. AD
Video games to make fans dream
A conference, especially in June, must make the “gamers” planet dream. The previously mentioned titles have the potential to satisfy gamers around the world, but a Ubisoft Forward cannot end like this. We want to see it all. To do this, Ubisoft can rely on several announced/rumored projects without forgetting an Arlesian who will make all science fiction fans drool. The Assassin’s Creed saga recently made the decision to diversify in order to reach a wider audience. In parallel with Shadows and Jade, another AC branded video game is in development. Much more focused on storytelling like the A Plague Tale franchise and Sony productions, Assassin’s Creed Hexe aims to revolutionize the Ubisoft brotherhood.
Ubisoft’s strategy for the years to come couldn’t be clearer. The French publisher intends to capitalize on its strong licenses and resurrect others with a lot of remakes. Speaking of remakes, that of the first Splinter Cell could make a notable intrusion during this Ubisoft Forward. Sam Fisher can count on the know-how of the Toronto studios and the power of the Snowdrop Engine to regain his former glory. But the highlight of the show would be to see again after several years of radio silence Beyond Good & Evil 2if only through a beautiful trailer, just to revive hope as the project seems to have been in difficulty for several years.
Finally, a Ubisoft conference would not have the same flavor without a thunderous and unexpected “One More Thing” capable of wowing the audience. In the past, we have had the right to Ghost Recon Wildlands, The Division, Watch_Dogs and Rainbow Six Siege. The Far Cry and The Division series would be likely to conclude the event in the most beautiful way with a new opus, but we dream bigger at JV. What if Ubisoft came out from behind the faggots a brand new franchise having the potential to shake up the video game industry? Dreaming is not a crime and June is the perfect month to see a midsummer night’s dream come true.
