Ubisoft Forward 2020: Everything Ubisoft Announced at the Event
Jul. 13, 20201. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
We have been waiting to get a good look at Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s gameplay for a while. Since the game was first announced and shown off at theXbox Series X game reveal, it has looked impressive. However, we didn’t get a lot of gameplay so far. All of that changed last night with all new gameplay footage for Valhalla. It looks great, by the way.
If you’re like me, you probably care more about Far Cry than Assassin’s Creed. Ubisoft’s Far Cry 6 reveal left me excited for the next iteration in the franchise that has given us gems like Far Cry 2. Far Cry 6 takes place on an island called ‘Yara’. The antagonist in the series is played by Giancarlo Esposito, who you may know as Gus Fring from Breaking Bad.
The game takes place in London, and features a couple of new things. For one, you can play as NPCs in the game, which is not something that I’ve seen before. From the trailer, the game does look pretty damn good, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it.
Hyper Scapehas been making quite the headlines since it launched in a closed beta. Major streamers, including Dr. Lupo have been playing Hyper Scape. The fast paced game, which is a tad too fast paced for me (honestly), looks a lot of fun. And now, the game is available in an open beta on PC, so if you are interested, you can check it out right away.
There were also a couple of other titles shown off at the event. We got to see Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad. It’s a new mobile game that brings together all the heroes from Tom Clancy games and pits them in 5v5 battles. If you’re a fan of Rainbox Six, Ghost Recon, etc, this may be something to look forward to on your phone. The game isn’t available yet, but you can pre-register for it on Android right now.
Also coming to smartphones is the free to play game Brawlhalla. This is yet another fun game that I can see being quite enjoyable on a smaller screen as well. Lastly, Ubisoft showed off Magic and Might: Era of Chaos. This one is a smartphone RPG, where you can lead your troops through a campaign. Magic and Might is also free to play on both Android and iOS.
