Ubisoft at E3

Ubisoft needed to impress at E3 with new games and well developed sequels, this was definitely accomplished. Portraying a wide variety of games and genres, Ubisoft showed its plans for the year to come; all we need to do is show our money. Here are all the pieces of news in one little list;

• Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle’s; this trailer started the event, a pleasant surprise for all Mario fans, looking to be a ball of fun and laughter. Uniting universes is always a beautiful thing to witness. This hints at the partnership between Nintendo and Ubisoft.
• Assassin’s Creed Origins – a second trailer after Xbox’s show to feed community with more details. This prior reveal did reduce the surprise, obviously, yet nevertheless it should raise the series back to where it once was.
• The Crew 2 – the inventive racing game is back at it again, but with no limits by conquering the skies and seas. Expect the similar engine-rumbling action to return in all dimensions of racing. A prominent competitor to the upcoming Need For Speed.
• South Park: The Fractured But Whole – the game was already announced but I don’t think anyone can complain about a new explicit trailer. Along with this, a mobile game was revealed to hit the Mobile Stores this year.
• Transference – a new VR game, consisting of psychological thrill and Elijah Wood. ‘We want you to take off the gear and still feel unsettled.’ - a concise summary from a developer.
• Skull and Bones – a unique pirate based multiplayer naval combat game which will hit all platforms, except the Switch, to give the community a different experience with gangs, a giant kraken and eerie waters.
• Just Dance 2 – the crowd at E3 was hit with a colourful busting of moves on the stage by divas, pandas and ninjas alike. To be released for ‘all consoles’ this October.
• Starlink: Battle for Atlas – another toy-to-game title from Ubisoft but this time with modular sci-fi ships and rockets. For PS4, Xbox and Switch.
• Steep: Road to the Olympics – expanding on the base game, this first bit of DLC will be available December.
• Far Cry 5 – two trailers were shown, with more gameplay and story hints. Producers came on stage to talk about the game and the process of creating it. No release date has been given.
• Beyond Good & Evil 2 – following multiple years of tantalisation a cinematic trailer appeared at E3, consisting of very strong language and a few characters. There was also a presentation given by directors.

Nearly a dozen games were promised by Ubisoft at E3, all of which buzzing with the creativity and diversity that Ubisoft is known for. It’s looking like a promising year for the publisher.
