Ubisoft has been a bit quiet this summer, but the company plans to return to the spotlight when it debuts a Skull and Bones Ubisoft Forward in July followed by another showcase in September with new reveals and updates on several games its studios have been working on.
In a blog post, Ubisoft announced that on July 7 there will be a Skull and Bones spotlight with in-depth look at the upcoming open-world pirate game. Then on September 10 at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET, a new Ubisoft Forward "returns in full force, ready to reveal updates and news on multiple games and projects from Ubisoft teams around the world."
While Ubisoft has been ramping up the launch of Skull and Bones, we know there are still several franchises and games we haven't heard from in a while, including Assassin's Creed. The latest reports suggest Ubisoft is working on creating a live-service, evolving Assassin's Creed game.
There are also other franchises like Far Cry, Watchdogs, Rainbow Six, and more that we could potentially hear from at the event, as well as the delayed-again Prince of Persia Remake.
Ubisoft already revealed the next Mario + Rabbids at the latest Nintendo Direct. For everything else announced over the summer, check out IGN's Summer of Gaming hub.
