The annual Ubisoft Forward presentation is ready to kick off with updates on the publisher’s upcoming slate of games. Set for 3 p.m. ET this afternoon with a short pre-show starting now (2:35 p.m. ET), we are expecting to get a deep dive on the future of the Assassin’s Creed franchise and the recently unveiled Assassin’s Creed Mirage, alongside updates on Skull and Bones and its latest Mario + Rabbids cross-over project with Nintendo. Head below to watch the Ubisoft Forward presentation and for more details.
Ubisoft Forward presentation
Alongside the main event, we will also be getting quick looks at Brawlhalla, For Honor, The Crew 2, and Anno 1800 as part of the brief pre-show event that kicks off some 25 minutes before the show proper.
Celebrating its 15th anniversary of the debut release in November 2007, the Assassin’s Creed franchise will almost certainly be front and center today. As we mentioned above, Assassin’s Creed Mirage should be on full display this afternoon – a game set to take place in Baghdad circa the late 9th century and effectively return the series to its Middle Eastern roots explored in the original title. Here’s to hoping, at least for me, the gameplay experience does as well.
From there, most folks are also expecting to get some updates on Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s pirate ship RPG set to launch later this year on November 8, as well as the Mario + Rabbids sequel, Sparks of Hope, which is scheduled to release next month on October 20, 2022 (Best Buy is offering free $10 gift cards with pre-orders on Skull and Bones and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope). Maybe even that Splinter Cell remake? It won’t be long until we find out for sure
The Ubisoft Forward pre-show is starting right now and the main event will begin shortly at 3 p.m. We will be updating this post throughout and with full resolution footage as it comes available. Enjoy the show!
Tune in on September 10th at 12pm PT / 9pm CEST for Ubisoft Forward. Pre-show starts at 11:35 am PT / 8:35 pm CEST
