Welcome to our live ticker! The Ubisoft Forward pre-show has begun. In 15 minutes things really get going. It’s best to stock up on drinks and snacks quickly. And enjoy the show! The links to the stream are below.
Ubisoft has already confirmed the first games with a small clip. Among them, for example, Assassin’s Creed Mirage. With the announcements of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (Summer Game Fest) and Star Wars Outlaws (Xbox Games Showcase), we now know two more titles that await us.
It is not certain whether the Prince of Persia or Star Wars game is the secret new announcement that the teaser hinted at a few days ago. So it could be that we have another surprise. Apart from that, the colorful multiplayer shooter Xdefiant and the pirate game Skull & Bones would still be possible candidates to be presented. On the other hand, we don’t expect a Beyond: Good and Evil.
What do you expect from the Ubisoft Forward? Which games do you wish for the most?
