While we don’t have any details about what fans can expect, we are fairly certain that Assassin’s Creed Valhalla will be prominently on display after last week’s announcement. In addition, Ubisoft has been hinting that it will be releasing five major games by early 2021. It is likely that at least one of its other core franchises will have a new release during this time window, perhaps from the long-running Far Cry series or an addition to the Ghost Recon franchise. During E3 2019, Ubi revealed Gods and Monsters which is likely to make an appearance during the show alongside Rainbow Six Quarantine and Watch Dogs Legion. Other games of note that may feature a presence at the Ubisoft digital event include Skull & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2. Of course, there are also likely to be announcements of new games as well.
We’ll keep you posted as more is revealed. In the meantime, head to the link above to check out the full announcement.
