Everything From Ubisoft Forward 2024
It came as no surprise that Ubisoft's showcase was dominated by Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin's Creed Shadows. However, the French publisher had a few surprises in store, and not just Anno 117: Pax Romana.
The Ubisoft Forward 2024 showcase largely focused on the French publisher's two major 2024 releases: Star Wars Outlaws (30 August) and Assassin's Creed Shadows (15 November). For Star Wars Outlaws, viewers saw emerging scoundrel Kay Vess head to Tatooine, with a closer look at Mos Eisley, to track down an expert gunslinger to improve her blaster skills. From Assassin's Creed Shadows, the publisher showed both playable characters and their unique combat styles: Yasuke dominates through strength, while Naoe uses stealth and tools to take out enemies from the shadows. The video also showed off the dynamic world of feudal Japan, including the changing seasons and weather that will affect gameplay.
