Ubisoft announced today that it will host a digital event on July 12: Ubisoft Forward. The editor calls the program an “E3-style storefront.”
E3 itself is canceled this year. This event will air approximately a month later than when Ubisoft would normally host its E3 show. The steam will include “exclusive game news, exciting revelations and much more.” Without E3 this summer, it’s up to individual publishers and other parties, like Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest, to fill the void through digital events.
Ubisoft already has several high-profile games in development, including the recently announced Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and other titles like Watch Dogs: Legion and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Quarantine. And then there are projects that we haven’t heard details about at some point, like Skull & Bones, Gods & Monsters, and Beyond Good and Evil 2 with pirate themes.
We could hear about any of these games and more during the show. And while Ubisoft promises “exciting revelations,” that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see new games announced, though it is possible. Still, with so much on the way, Ubisoft may want to focus on releasing some of these games.
Although, as sure as death and taxes, I imagine we will see a new Just Dance.
