The next Ubisoft Forward is going to be headlined by Assassin’s Creed, Mario + Rabbids, and the much delayed Skull & Bones, according to a recently made announcement. The news comes directly from the Ubisoft blog which promises that plenty of updates are on the way.
“Our latest Ubisoft Forward livestream event is almost here,” the company announced. “Ubisoft Forward will bring you updates on upcoming games like Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones as well as a special Assassin’s Creed showcase offering a peek at the future of the franchise.” This most likely means footage from the leaked and then subsequently announced Assassin’s Creed Mirage, but could also be an update on the collaboration between Ubisoft Quebec and Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Infinity.
The main attraction is currently scheduled to begin on Saturday, September 10 at 12:00 PM PT. Ubisoft also has a pre-show planned that starts 25 minutes earlier. “For even more updates, be sure to catch our pre-show starting at 11:35 AM PT for news on the latest seasons, characters, and content from your favorite live games like Brawlhalla, For Honor, The Crew 2, Anno 1800, and more.”
Ubisoft Forward will be available on YouTube and Twitch. “Those watching on Twitch will be eligible to earn Twitch drop rewards for multiple games by watching on Ubisoft’s official Twitch channel or any number of official co-streamers.” The company noted that viewers on Twitch will be able to claim the Skull and Bones Emblem in Skull & Bones, Explosive Detail Charm in Rainbow Six Siege, RC22 Original Cosmetic in Roller Champions, and Sphinx Tattoo Set in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla.
This comes in the wake of a leak which revealed a few details about The Division Heartland. The game was recently listed as “coming soon” on the Ubisoft Store, resulting in speculation that Ubisoft might be making an official announcement at the upcoming Ubisoft Forward, something which remains within the realm of possibility. The Division Heartland currently has no release date, but the game is expected to launch at some point before March, 2023.
