Wake me up when E3 ends
Don’t look now, FakE3 isn’t over just yet. We’ve still got the nextXbox event tomorrowand yet another Ubisoft Forward too. The latter, it turns out, will be coming in September. The news came during Ubisoft’s quarterly earnings call. At what point do we stop calling it unofficial E3 and just admit we’ve bled into holiday reveals season? Never? Ah, swell.
“We will have another exciting Ubisoft Forward event in September and we can’t wait to show you more,” said CFO Frédérick Duguet as part of his remarks for the call. “Ubisoft Forward was a major milestone and the response from our fans was very promising. We achieved record-high peak concurrent viewership during this event, surpassing our previous E3 conferences.”
We already knew there wasanother Ubi Forward eventcoming. Now we’ve got a month. Bit later we’ll get a date. After that probably one of those sizzle reel teasers to let us know which games will be covered. Yum yum, marketing juice is part of a complete news breakfast.
During the first Ubi Forward we got release dates for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla andWatch Dogs: Legion, an officialannouncement for Far Cry 6, and an open beta launch forHyper Scape. We didn’t hear about Skull & Bones, that pirate ‘em up that’s been simmering for years, though a report published shortly after suggests it mightbecome a live service game.
“I am determined to make profound changes in order to improve and strengthen our corporate culture,” Guillemot said. “We already have acted swiftly and firmly, announcing and introducing large scale initiatives intended to transform our organization.”
As for the next Ubisoft Forward, mark your calendars for September.
