This Monday, June 10, Ubisoft Forward was held, a conference lifting the veil on the developer’s upcoming releases. And the least we can say is that he seems to master his subject! We give you the recap of this evening full of surprises in this JV Fast!
Star Wars to the sound of violins
Welcomed to the sound of an orchestra, spectators at Ubisoft Forward on June 10, 2024 were able to discover everything that the developer will offer them in the months to come. And to start this conference in style, Star Wars: Outlaws opens the ball for almost 25 minutes. The game is revealed in a presentation full of promises, both in terms of the story, the planets to visit, and the different gameplay phases.. The game, leaving aside the Jedi for profiles more oriented towards banditry, also presents an exciting universe.
Due to the dark side of its issues, it is close to the atmosphere specific to the first trilogy of the saga, both in its slightly “dirty” retro-futuristic aesthetic, and in its aspect focused on the true discovery of original planets. The title looks genuinely promising, both in its story and its gameplay. A gem to come which we tell you in more detail in our column available at the top of the page!
A prince and an assassin
Ubisoft also takes advantage of the conference to offer a quick focus on the Prince of Persia license, and more specifically on The Lost Crown and its upcoming DLC, Mask of Darkness, but also on the latest: Rogue Prince of Persia. Anno 117: Pax Romana was also revealed in a rather funny teaser, promising a new opus focused this time on the Roman Empire. But the real second wind of this conference was undoubtedly Assassin’s Creed Shadows which presented even more gameplay, following its presentation during the Xbox Games Showcase the day before.
It is for almost 20 minutes that the title reveals the different gameplay that the two main characters of the title will offer. That of Naoe, the assassin, is in a sense reminiscent of that of the series Tenshu, whose specialty lies in infiltration. A way of playing that reassures many players. As for Yasuke, at first glance presented as the nag of the duo, ultimately presents a very fine style during sword fights. The focus of the title really seems to be on the combat, whether through the destruction of armor or even via the black and white sequences which accentuate the kills.
The conference, although it was notably driven by these two major and anticipated titles, was full of many surprises. To find out more, do not hesitate to consult our dedicated JV Fast at the top of the page!
