Here’s everything revealed during the June 2024 Ubisoft Forward showcase.
The livestream kicked off with a 10-minute gameplay preview of Star Wars Outlaws, the first truly open-world game set in that galaxy far far away.
We caught a glimpse of the game’s seamless space and land travel and exploration, dogfights in space with your starship, and a quest that involved both stealth and gunplay.
Next up was Ubisoft’s new shooter game XDefiant, which is launching its inaugural season soon, with lots in store for players.
A Skull and Bones trailer was shown, focused on the ongoing Season 2: Chorus of Havoc and some new quality–of–life features that are already available in the game, such as fleet management and new ship upgrades.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the excellent metroidvania that launched earlier this year, is getting its first story DLC, Mask of Darkness, releasing in September 2024.
A very short teaser for the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake, revealed that the game is coming sometime in 2026.
The Rogue Prince of Persia, Ubisoft’s latest roguelite available in Early Access, is getting an update, adding the Temple of Fire, a new area to explore, along with new weapons and enemies.
Ubisoft’s Anno strategy series is going to Ancient Rome for the first time, with Anno 117: Pax Romana, which launches in 2025.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is getting Sky Breaker, the game’s first story expansion, slated for a July 2024 release.
As part of its Year 2 content roadmap, online racer The Crew Motorfest will have a new island to explore and a second Made in Japan playlist.
Ubisoft Forward closed with 10 minutes of Assassin’s Creed Shadows gameplay, showcasing how vastly different the upcoming game’s two protagonists will be.
