Ubisoft Forward will showcase exclusive game news

You're wondering when exactly Ubisoft will launch Watch Dogs: Legion and Gods and Monsters? Or perhaps you want to see more Assassin's Creed Valhalla gameplay? Chances are that you'll get all these and more in about two months from now.

The French publisher and developer has just announced a new E3-like digital conference called Ubisoft Forward where it will showcase exclusive game news, exciting reveals, and more. The event will take place on July 12 at 12 pm PDT / 9 pm CEST.

Unfortunately, apart from the date, the Ubisoft Forward announcement doesn't contain any details about what the French company plans to reveal during the event. However, we expect news that will cover Ubisoft's entire portfolio of games, including information about current and upcoming titles.

Also, we don't rule out news about Ubisoft's gaming streaming service – uPlay+, which saw an increase in engagement after Assassin's Creed Odyssey's release.

After delaying its entire lineup of games for 2020, Ubisoft is likely to share new release dates for at least two of its upcoming games – Watch Dogs: Legion and Gods and Monsters. One of Ubisoft's highly-anticipated titles, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is unlikely to be showcased at Ubisoft Forward since it's still in early development.

On the bright side, there's likely to be more news about Skull and Bones, Ubisoft's take on pirate adventure games. Following the mild success of Rare's Sea of Thieves, Ubisoft is trying to bring those who love seafaring games a triple A alternative. Hopefully, we'll find out more about the game on July 12.

Finally, there will definitely be news about Assassin's Creed Valhalla (maybe a release date?) and Rainbow Six Quarantine, so there's should be a fair amount of content to watch during Ubisoft Forward.

As far as new titles go, we doubt there will be any new game reveals, but let's not rule out the possibility entirely. Anyway, make sure to save the date if you're a Ubisoft fan.
