Ubisoft has held its game announcement livestream on Sunday, complete with news on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Hyper Scape, and Watch Dogs, among other games.
Major game studio Ubisoft held its virtual event Sunday to make some game announcements and share more details on some of its biggest titles, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Hyper Scape, Watch Dogs: Legion title, and more.
Dubbed Ubisoft Forward, the game company’s livestream is airing now on YouTube, Twitch, and elsewhere. Ubisoft didn’t share much about its plans for the show over the past couple of weeks, but a teaser promised a few big announcements. Ubisoft may also reveal more about its plans to support the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 when they launch later this year.
We’ve updated this page with each big announcement.
The event kicked off with a short film inspired by the upcoming Watch Dogs Legion. Ubisoft said the game will tell the story of “ordinary heroes” who want to save the world.
Watch Dogs Legion takes place after a London terrorist attack and requires players to build a “resistance” that will need to take back the city. Players can choose anyone in the world to take out terrorists. Indeed, Ubisoft said the game will let players “choose the hero.” But not every person players choose to build their resistance will be equally capable, so they’ll need to choose wisely.
Ubisoft’s in-game footage showed players choosing a variety of characters to fight in the resistance and the ability to play missions differently based on the characters’ key attributes.
