Ubisoft’s Summer Game Fest presentation, Ubisoft Forward 2023, kicks off on Monday, June 12th at 1PM ET / 10 AM PT. Expect some news about the already revealed new 2D side-sidescroller Prince of Persia: The Lost Crownand its new Star Wars game, Star Wars: Outlaws. Assassin’s Creed is definitely getting some air time along with its new first-person arena shooter XDefiant, which feels like Ubisoft asked, “What if PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale but instead of Smash Bros., it’s Overwatch?”
There might also be updates for Rider’s Republic, Ubi’s extreme sports MMO and possibly some unexpected surprises — maybe more Mario + Rabbids, or perhaps an appearance of the OG Rayman himself?

The Division is coming to your smartphone later this year. At its Ubisoft Forward event, the company confirmed that The Division Resurgence, a mobile spinoff of the near-future shooter series, will be launching in fall 2023.
As with the previous games in the series, Resurgence is set in a “mid-crisis” version of New York, one thrown into a crisis following an outbreak of a genetically engineered virus known as the “dollar flu.” And like those games, the mobile version is a cross between an open world game, where you can explore the city and take on missions, and a multiplayer experience where you can squad up with friends. Ubisoft describes it as a “true MMO experience.”
