Ubisoft Forward showcase returns September, here’s what we know

Every year is predictable when it comes to major game release timelines. We get some new hits in the spring, and occasional drops in the summer. The prime focus of the gaming industry is always on hyping new projects up in the fall and then releasing before the holiday season sales rush.

The list includes Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, XDefiant, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Frontline.

This pseudo-spinoff of the wildly popular Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag will feature plenty of high seas action with pirates and the like. It’s been in some state of development for nearly eight years, so it’s sure to draw attention.
