Ubisoft won’t be holding a games showcase during E3 season

While previous reports claimed that Ubisoft would hold its own E3-style showcase in June, it turns out that may not be the case. Ubisoft has confirmed this week that it won't be holding a showcase this month alongside others in the industry. However, a new Ubisoft Forward will still likely take place this year. 

Speaking with Axios, an Ubisoft spokesperson confirmed that the company isn't planning a new game showcase until “later this year”, so perhaps sometime in Q3, rather than over the summer.

Ubisoft has a few games to show off that we already know about, including Skull & Bones, a new Assassin's Creed spin-off title, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope.

This change in plan likely came following the cancelation of E3 in late March. In E3's place, Geoff Keighley has organised Summer Game Fest in its place, which will include announcements from publishers all around the industry. Sony will also be hosting a State of Play this week, and Microsoft will be holding the Xbox and Bethesda Showcase on the 12th of June.

Aside from the games we know are coming out relatively soon, Ubisoft also has a ton of other games in the works, including a new Splinter-Cell, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Assassin's Creed Infinity, but all of these games are still some ways off from release.

KitGuru Says: Aside from Mario + Rabbids, which may end up being shown at a Nintendo Direct, it doesn't seem like Ubisoft has much coming out this year to make any real noise about.
