Everything announced at the September 2022 Ubisoft Forward
Another Ubisoft Forward presentation is finally happening today. Over the summer, Ubisoft opted to individually showcase Skull & Bones and place Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope in a Nintendo Direct Mini, so it skipped out on holding its own dedicated showcase. Now, the French game publisher revived the Ubisoft Forward showcase series brand for a new presentation highlighting Ubisoft’s upcoming titles; namely, what’s next for the Assassin’s Creed series.
We already have a very good idea about what will be in the show. The pre-show will highlight updates for Anno 1800, Brawlhalla, For Honor, The Crew 2, The Division 2and Ubisoft+. Then, the main Ubisoft Forward show will contain new trailers for Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Skull & Bones, in addition to an entire segment dedicated to Assassin’s Creed Mirage and the “future of the franchise.” Hopefully, there are some surprises too. Ubisoft fans will want to stay tuned as we’ll update this post throughout the event with everything announced.
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope gameplay video introduces Terra Flora and Rayman
Ubisoft gave us another in-depth look at Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope ahead of its release next month. During its segment that kicked off the main show, we got a look at gameplay on Terra Flora, one of the game’s worlds, and saw a boss fight against a Wiggler. Ubisoft also confirmed that the game’s third post-launch DLC pack will introduce Rayman as a playable character, although we didn’t see any gameplay from it. Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope releases as a Nintendo Switch exclusive on October 20, 2022.
Skull & Bones reveals more details about its pirate adventure
Ubisoft’s long-in-development pirate game Skull & Bones was also featured in the Ubisoft Foward show. Its segment started by highlighting The Helm, which will serve as the player’s base of operations. Ubisoft then highlighted the game’s Insider Program, how players can build ships, and confirmed that PvP can be turned off and that Skull & Bones will have crossplay. The game will be released on November 8, 2022.
