In addition to Assassin’s Creed Mirage, The Crew: Motorfest, And Avatar: Limits of PandoraUbisoft has a number of other projects in the works – though they haven’t been officially confirmed for Ubisoft Forward 2023.
- Skull and bonesthe repeatedly-delayed open-world pirate adventure was finally pushed into Ubisoft’s current fiscal year (which began April 1), though it doesn’t have a specific launch date.
- Tom Clancy’s The Division Heartland will have a closed beta soon, apparently this summer, with no specific date announced yet. It’s a good bet we’ll be hearing more, at least about the beta, at Ubisoft Forward.
- Massive Entertainment, the lead studio behind Tom Clancy’s The Division, has an open-world Star Wars game in development that we haven’t heard from since its announcement in early 2021. In a regular chat with investors last month, Ubisoft said “another large game” would launch sometime in the next 12 months. Whether this is the as-yet-untitled Star Wars game or something else remains to be seen.
- XChallenging, the multiplayer-only shooter based on multiple Ubisoft IPs, entered a closed beta and preview in April. It doesn’t have a launch date or window yet, but it’s possible we’ll hear more about this “Tom Clancy’s Smash Bros.” free to play shooting game.
- from Ubisoft official announcement from Ubisoft Forward said viewers on Twitch are eligible for in-game Twitch drops, including Avatar: Limits of Pandora, Riders Republic, Assassin’s Creed ValhallaAnd mirage.
- One thing you won’t see: although Ubisoft Montreal is taking over Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and effectively restarting development on that remake, Ubisoft said in late May Sand of time would not be shown on Ubisoft Forward.
