Two Ubisoft Forward Events Announced, Starting With Skull & Bones This Week

Wow, here we go! After a pretty quiet E3 period, publisher Ubisoft has announced two 'Forward' livestream events, showcasing some of the company's upcoming games. Things kick off on July 7th with a special Skull & Bones event, before a "multi-game showcase" arrives on September 10th.

Much-awaited Pirate adventure Skull & Bones is finally re-emerging then, after a long time below deck. This one has been in limbo for what feels like forever and a day, but the developer will livestream a full gameplay reveal for Skull & Bones this week. Hurrah!

Things will kick off with a 15-minute pre-show at 10:45am PT / 1:45pm ET / 6:45pm BST. The main gameplay reveal will then begin at 11am PT / 2pm ET / 7pm BST.

We know very little about the following showcase, aside from a date and time. Ubisoft's multi-game show takes place on September 10th, at 12pm PT / 3pm ET / 8pm BST. It's sounding like this particular event will effectively be Ubisoft's 'E3' livestream, albeit it a little later in the year than usual.

Are you excited for Skull & Bones? Or are you eagerly awaiting the September showcase? Let us know below!

The September one might be for the next assassins creed game, maybe?

I might be misremembering but I think they mentioned a big announcement around then for the AC franchise during the recent anniversary stream.

Edit:. Just checked the stream and Alice Terrett (community developer) does explicitly say special announcement in September during the opening video introduction.

I hope they dont dissapoint. Love their games, they only made some bad decision lately.
Games i really want from them
1: Splinter cell (done right, build from the ground up)
2: Asassin creed.
3: Ghost recon. (Wildlands was amazing, lively villages etc) Breakpoint was good but i dont know the island felt kinda meh. Gameplay was good satisfying missions. Combine wildlands and breakpoint with classic Ghost recon elements, magic formula there.

I also want new IPs from them refreshing ideas.

I really hope skull and bones has a single player mode. I'm hoping for more Sid Meiers Pirates and less Sea of Thieves.

@Kaloudz yes! That’s my biggest worry for this game, is that it’s strictly sea battles/game play.

@FreakyTJ I've seen land movement at outposts, but there has to be island discovery, land gameplay, etc... Or it just won't grip me. Don't get me wrong the sea battles will be epic, but that alone? It will get stale quicker than Sea of Thieves arena mode lol.
