Before the show floor opens, E3 held press conferences from some of gaming’s biggest companies. Whether it’s video games, movies, tv, comics, or tech, you will likely find Kevin there.
Ubisoft’s E3 2017 press conference is set to take place on Monday 12 June at 1pm PDT, 4pm EST, 9pm BST.
You can also check out our E3 2017 hub for even more news, editorials and features. Finally, Ubisoft announced Beyond Good & Evil 2, a prequel fourteen years in the making to the original Beyond Good & Evil title.
We got the promised XCOM 2 DLC, the latest game from Klei, a new look at Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord and the newly-renamed Tunic (formerly known as Secret Legend). Players will presumably take the role of an acclaimed all-around motorsports champion, getting behind the wheel of every kind of vehicle you can imagine. There have also been leaks of a new Mario / Rabbids crossover from Ubisoft for the Switch. The banter between the two was lighthearted, humorous and fun.
Nintendo Switch Receiving Three New Sports GamesWith the Nintendo Switch releasing in March, it is starting to build its sports library on top of Mario Kart 8.
According to Ubisoft, Beyond Good and Evil 2 is set before the birth of the Jade, the first game’s protagonist.
Surprisingly, The Crew 2 made an appearance at the conference this year. For about 75 minutes, Ubisoft devs both hosted the conference and showcased 11 brand new and exciting titles. Far Cry 5 will allow players to use a team of agents in the single-player campaign as party members. “Fangs for Hire” is how the game described him, and that is exactly how he acts. A few allies were also revealed including Grace Armstrong (sniper), Boomer (gun-fetching dog) and Nick Rye (pilot that attacks from above). Having seen already plenty of gameplay footage, the developer played only a cinematic trailer that shows the beauty of the world in Assassin’s Creed Origins. The game mode ends when “Pirate Hunters” appear and chases the team with the most loot. Dancers came out dressed as Scorpion and Sub-Zero ready for a rave. Taking control of master assassin Bayek, the player underwent a short quest to obtain a number of religious relics from a nearby ship to procure the safety of a wrongly accused apprentice.
Ubisoft had a great conference overall, with information and announced games as well as some surprise showing. The CG trailer was loaded with unnecessary swearing, and the game has very little in common with its predecessor.
