Every big announcement and trailer from Ubisoft Forward 2024

polygon.com:

Ubisoft’s big games showcase, Ubisoft Forward, kept the Summer Game Fest hype train rolling on Monday with fresh details on new and upcoming games like Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, XDefiant, and a plethora of Prince of Persia projects — including the long-awaited return (sort of) of Ubi’s Sands of Time remake.

Here’s everything that Ubisoft had to share during Ubisoft Forward 2024.

Star Wars fans will live out their bounty hunter fantasies this summer in a brand-new open-world galactic adventure, Star Wars Outlaws. At Ubisoft Forward, developers from Massive Entertainment walked players through what they can expect from scrappy scoundrel Kay Vess’ adventure. She’ll wrangle criminal cartels, engage in battles both in space and on planet Tatooine, and travel to locations familiar and new in the Star Wars galaxy. The 10-minute gameplay showcase was full of gameplay variety and plenty of blaster fire to get players hyped for Star Wars Outlaws’ Aug. 30 release date.

Not content to release just one new trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, Ubisoft released a second game overview trailer that highlights the title’s diversity of locations, alien species, and gameplay styles.

Ubisoft is taking the Assassin’s Creed series to Japan for the first time with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Players will be able to take on dual roles as either the stealthy shinobi Naoe or the powerhouse samurai Yasuke. At Ubisoft Forward, we got a deep dive into how those protagonists will play in a 13-minute gameplay walkthrough. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is out on Nov. 15.

Ubisoft came with not one, not two, but three Prince of Persia-related announcements for the franchise’s 35th anniversary. Here’s what it showed at Ubisoft Forward.

Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown will get a free content update with revised bosses, puzzle challenges, new amulets, new outfits, and more. There’s also story DLC coming in the form of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown: Mask of Darkness this September.
