The Summer Games Festival 2023 is at its peak and after a Xbox showcase bombastic based on starfield, it’s time to move on to the Ubisoft Forward, which could hit very hard with a ton of gameplay and announcements awaiting. This year, the conference will be dedicated to Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the French publisher’s next big work, on which it is betting a lot. But there will also be other big games and surprises. Date, time, how to follow the conference, what to expect? We do a big summary.
Where and when to watch Ubisoft Forward 2023?
It’s almost the end. The summer season of big video game announcements is coming to an end. The biggest players in the industry communicated during a week full of new information and surprises. If the Summer Game Fest 2023 will last a few more weeks before moving on to Gamescom, there is one more important speech to come: the Ubisoft Forward 2023. A particularly awaited event at the turning point where the French publisher will welcome both players and investors needs to calm portfolio after several postponements and games with absent subscribers (Hello Skull & Bones and Beyond Good & Evil 2).

Assassin’s Creed Mirage, the great anticipation of Ubisoft Forward 2023
This will undoubtedly be the big star of this Ubisoft Forward 2023. Assassin’s Creed Mirage should finally present its gameplay as it should. The publisher gave fans a little treat during the PlayStation Showcase by showing off some snippets. This was enough to increase the impatience of the most ardent fans, eager to learn more about what Ubisoft Bordeaux has in store for them. It is all the more expected to mean a temporary return to basics, all in the heart of medieval Baghdad, reminiscent of the adventures of that dear Altaïr Ibn-La’Ahad during the Third Crusade.
The other game in the saga has been confirmed for this conference: Assassin’s Creed Nexus. This fully VR experience allows you to play in FPS for the first time and embody multiple assassins from different eras at the same time. Players can find Kassandra (Odyssey), Connor (AC 3) and the mentor himself Ezio Aditore from Assassin’s Creed 2. Since Ubisoft has only confirmed its existence, we can expect to see the game in action and see a bit of the gameplay. The leap of faith in VR? It promises, but has the publisher thought of the most sensitive virtual reality? He should bring some additional information with him during this conference. What about the other licensed games?
We know that several projects are in development. Starting with Assassin’s Creed Red, which finally allows you to delve into the heart of feudal Japan, but also Assassin’s Creed witchwhich took place at the time of the witch hunts in the 16th centurye Century. It seems pretty unlikely that they’ll show up during this Ubisoft Forward. On the other hand, the mobile game Assassin’s Creed Jade could appear. Since the game play was already leaked a few months ago, it is undoubtedly one of the licensed games with the most advanced development. Perhaps the series planned for Netflix could calm the progress, but nothing is less certain.
Avatar, The Crew Motorsport, Next Releases Spotlight?
The other big part of the Ubisoft Forward 2023 conference should definitely be Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. The adaptation of James Cameron’s cinematic universe is undoubtedly one of the studio’s most ambitious games. Forget AAA games, this one is advertised as AAAA. The studio Massive Entertainment (The Division 2) continues to pursue a very clear goal: to push the technological boundaries with the engine Snowdrop Engine. They even collaborated with James Cameron’s production company, Lightstorm, for the occasion. We should therefore finally see the game in action, hopefully with something other than a trailer and real gameplay. And why not finally a release date?
Around the release dates exactly, The Crew Motor Festival should also use the Ubisoft Forward to reveal his own. Heading towards Hawaii, more precisely to the island of Oahu, with this third installment that fans of the genre are waiting for. According to the first images, we are clearly facing a project that draws a lot of inspiration Forza Horizon. It remains to be seen if Ubisoft can pull out of the game and not suffer too much from the comparison. Other upcoming releases from the Ubisoft catalogue: free to play The Division: Heartland (consoles and PC) and The Resurgence Division (mobile) will soon each offer a beta phase. XDefiant should also announce its news, just like Rainbow Six Mobile, a tactical FPS for smartphones. We can count on it too Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, one of the nicest surprises of the Summer Game Fest. Ubisoft is expected to present more 2.5D games inspired by the Metroidvania genre.
Star Wars, Beyond Good & Evil 2… the surprises at Ubisoft Forward?
This time we are caught in complete fog and the craziest speculations. We quote it every time and maybe this time it’s the right one. Beyond Good and Evil 2 Will he bring reassuring news? We know that development is so chaotic that the game is no longer part of Ubisoft’s immediate plans. In short, it doesn’t smell very good and the chance of seeing a piece of it during the Ubisoft Forward is still slim, but dreaming is always allowed. On the other hand, we have much more hope Star Wars game by Ubisoft Massive, still very secret. It is rumored to be an open-world adventure game including interplanetary space travel with no further details. It’s very vague and we don’t even know what the title’s schedule is. Maybe an answer tomorrow?
For a long time it remained an open secret, now it’s official: Splinter Cell Remake is on the way. We can hope for an appearance by the famous NSA agent. According to the French-speaking publisher, the game is said to be a high-level remake. So it’s high time to get to the bottom of the matter, at least with a teaser, to put something into your mouth. And then there is the case skull bones. The pirate game has been postponed several times and was scheduled to take place in December 2023. Will it be possible to stay the course? The Ubisoft Forward 2023 should be crucial as its absence would send a very negative signal to the players. Yves Guillemot wants to reassure and says that the latest internal tests have been satisfactory.
