The Ubisoft Forward 2024 is not limited to compliance. You don’t organize a big event just because. The Gauls have enormous projects in their hands and several of them appeared briefly during the Summer Game Fest and the Xbox Games Showcase. Appetizers for your own gala.
However, one does not realize the true weight and presence of the colossus that gives you an Assassin’s Creed that pulls a Just Dance out of its hat until it gathers its future plans in one place. Above all, when the Prince of Persia is back in triplicate.
At iGamesNews we continue surfing in the summer event season and the Ubisoft Forward 2024 has taken us right to our comfort zone: we knew that Star Wars Outlaws, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and more content and life ahead. A positive balance? What you will see in our summary speaks for itself.
As expected of us, we have brought together in one place all the videos and announcements of the Ubisoft Forward 2024. You can go directly to the video game you like the most through our index or watch them in the order you want and in a loop. Because, as you will see, some cinematics and more than one gameplay lend themselves to being reviewed more than three consecutive times. And four.
Star Wars Outlaws
Diving headlong into George Lucas’s Galaxy Far, Far Away following the formula of Ubisoft’s third-person open-world action games is a great plan. Especially when the cover of the game bears Massive’s signature.
Star Wars Outlaws broke the ice of the event through The Hollywood Chamber Orchestra and showed the largest amount of gameplay to date, taking us from the leisure that their cantinas will offer to space battles and, from there, to Mos Eisley on the planet Tatooine. A great journey through the Star Wars universe and non-stop. But not content with showing the game in motion, Ubisoft also showed a general review of the experiences it will offer, its characters and its story.
Both the gameplay and the trailer included different types of missions showing mobility, stealth style and, of course, combat. Ones that, as far as we have seen, will be free of lightsabers. And the truth is that we will not miss them. Will we end up wielding them? What we can tell you is that Star Wars Outlaws will come out August 30, 2024 en Xbox Series X / S, PS5 y PC.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
We are not going to fool ourselves: Assassin’s Creed Shadows Along with Star Wars Outlaws, it was the other big draw for Ubisoft Forward 2024. Ultimately, it is the company’s star saga and, furthermore, its long-desired jump to exotic feudal Japan. Not with a protagonist, but as two different hero profiles: the powerful samurai, who we saw carrying a sword and a huge club, and the lethal and sibylline assassin whose agility brings us back to the essence of the saga.
Although we were able to see progress of the game during the summer events, Ubisoft has decided to generous portions of gameplay in which we see the horseback riding, the combat, the infiltration and stealth system, a little bit of the map or the development of missions. Of course, its developers have taken the opportunity to take advantage of the open world with its setting, its weather and, for that matter, how it alternates between the samurai and the ninja during the course of the story.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be available November 15, 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X / S, on PC through the Ubisoft and Epic Games s tore and also from cloud play.
Xdefiant
With the next Call of Duty formally presented, it is the perfect time to put on the table what will bring a Xdefiant recently released for lovers of shooters and which aspires to be its direct competition by putting all the meat on the grill: more game modes, more weapons, the promise of a new map every month, a Free-To-Play format and a date to mark on the calendar: the inaugural season starts on July 2.
Prince of Persia
2024 is the big year for Prince of Persia. In less than six months, two essential platform titles were launched on the occasion of their 35th anniversary, starting with the essential Lost Crown, and now new developments are arriving in the form of free content with more challenges and the promise of great DLC that will expand the story and reach in September.
And what about The Rouge Prince of Persia? The creators of Dead Cells Only a few weeks have passed since the Early Access launch of the game and what is shown is convincing: more biomes, more challenges and more content in the update Temple of Fire.
But it doesn’t end there: beyond the titles launched and already available, Ubisoft resumed the conversation around the long-announced remake of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time giving one of lime and another of sand: the project is still alive, but we will not see it until 2026. Something is something.
Skull and Bones

And speaking of games that evolve throughout the year: Skull and Bones, Ubisoft’s naval battle experience, has rolled out plans for its second season now available with more narrative content, new ships, more dangers and, little by little, strengthening the path towards a third season that will add 5 vs. 5 combat, embrace the mythology of the Far East and, for that matter, face a new type of sea creature in the form of an epic dragon.
Avatar Frontiers of Pandora

Massive has many open fronts for the future, but it does not forget its already launched projects: Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, the Far Cry-style adventure set in the science fiction universe imagined by James Cameron, showed a preview of its expansion Sky Breaker. It will arrive on July 16 and is included in the Season Pass.

Ubisoft’s motorsport proposal continues to grow with its fifth season of content, and its paradisiacal open world still has great races to offer and spectacular new pieces with which to tempt players. The next? The Chase Squadwhich will arrive on November 2, 2024.

Are you obsessed with the Roman Empire? Has the Anno saga stolen more hours from you than you are willing to confess? No major summer video game event is complete without at least one great strategy game and the one chosen for Ubisoft Forward 2024 has a name that is quite a declaration of intent: Year 117: Pax Romana. Say goodbye to your free hours.
The Division

Massive did not wait for Ubisoft Forward 2024 to start to establish the roadmap for one of its star sagas: from the start, The Division 2 announced the contents of its sixth year, starting with what will arrive during the first season of this new stage and hitting the table: now all players will be able to improve their characters up to level 40 without having to go through DLC.
Don’t leave yet, there’s still more
Brawlhalla, Riders Republic, Monopoly, For Honor o Trackmania They could not be missing in an event dedicated to showing everything that Ubisoft has in its hands, although the way of putting them on stage has been quite particular: through a review, in which news has not always been offered, it has been very clear that They are all part of the great ongoing project of the French company.

Finally, Ubisoft swept home taking advantage of the fact that it practically coincided with the Apple event in June and showed the appearance of the iPad and iPhone version of an Assassin’s Creed Mirage that, despite being a transitional delivery, was a small step forward and in the right direction for the saga.
