Historically Ubisoft would run an event during E3 week, but with COVID-19 and the trade shows cancellation, the French-based studio decided to play their cards a little closer to their chest and hold off a little longer. The show is now set to take place this Sunday, July 12th and we have all the details for you below.
Start Time / Show Length
UK – 8pm BST
US – 12pm PDT. 1pm MDT. 2pm CDT. 3pm EDT
The show is set to be around 45 minutes, which is pretty standard fare. There will also be both a pre and post-show.
How To Watch Live
The show will be available to stream live via the Ubisoft Twitch and YouTube channels. Various websites will also be hosting their own livestream watch along. If this is your preferred method I recommend the Kinda Funny team, who will be live on Twitch.
What Will Be Shown?
A full lineup for the show has not been provided but we are all but guaranteed to see more of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion. New battle royale game Hyper Scape is also likely to get a full unveiling. In addition to this we may hear more about Rainbow Six Quarantine, Gods and Monsters and Beyond Good and Evil 2. The latter of which is unlikely, but we can all hope.
Skull & Bones is another Ubisoft game that fell off the face of the earth a few years ago and the time feels right to provide an update. Hopefully they have went back to the drawing board included a protagonist with a full story campaign. I would like this to basically be Assassin’s Creed Black Flag except this time they go all in on the pirate theme.
In terms of unannounced games we are almost certainly going to see Far Cry 6, which is heavily rumoured to be releasing in early 2021. You can find more details about that rumour here. The dream is that we get both a new Splinter Cell and South Park game, but neither is at all likely to happen.
