Ubisoft is having a great 2024. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown started the year off strong by being critically acclaimed, while the successful launch of XDefiant and a promising early access roguelike in The Rogue Prince of Persia continued that momentum in May. Next week, Ubisoft will hold its annual Ubisoft Forward game showcase to show us what’s in store for the rest of the year.

More specifically, this is where we’ll be getting our next looks at Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. If you’re interested in those upcoming Ubisoft games, you’ll want to tune in. Here’s everything to know about 2024’s Ubisoft Forward showcase ahead of its airing.

Where to watch Ubisoft Forward 2024

Ubisoft Forward: Official Livestream - June 2024 | #UbiForward

Ubisoft will stream Ubisoft Forward 2024 live on Ubisoft’s YouTube and Twitch channels as well as its Ubisoft Connect platform. I’ve embedded the YouTube premiere for Ubisoft Forward above for your convenience. Those with connected Ubisoft and Twitch accounts can even get some in-game items for Rainbow Six Siege, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Star Wars Outlaws, Skull & Bones, The Crew Motorfest, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Assassin’s Creed Shadows by watching it there.

What to expect from Ubisoft Forward 2024

It’s very likely that two upcoming Ubisoft games will be the centerpieces of 2024’s Ubisoft Forward: Star Wars Outlaws and Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The former is an open-world action-adventure game following a smuggler named Kay Vess between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The latter is the first Assassin’s Creed game that will be set in Japan, and it’s out in November. Expect deep dives into both of these games as they are prominent upcoming releases Ubisoft will want to promote.

Otherwise, it’s possible that Ubisoft also uses the event to showcase impending content for some of its actively updated games like XDefiant, The Rogue Prince of Persia, and Rainbow Six Siege. Hopefully, some surprises are packed in as well. This is pure speculation, but I’d love to see the Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell remake here, even if it’s just via a teaser trailer.

After years of publishing its PC games exclusively through the Epic Games Store and its own service, Ubisoft has reversed course and will be releasing games on Steam. And it's starting with last year's Assassin's Creed Mirage.

The publisher announced on X (formerly Twitter) over the weekend that Mirage will be coming to Steam later this month to coincide with its first anniversary on October 5. The store page is now live, and you can wishlist it ahead of launch.

Ubisoft recently announced big changes to how it publishes and release its games, and now a new report reveals more may be coming to the company. According to Bloomberg, those familiar with the situation have said Tencent, the Guillemot family, who founded Ubisoft, and other minority shareholders are looking into a buyout to take the company private.

Tencent already has a 9.2% stake in the video game publisher, while the Guillemot family has about 20.5%. The report does note that these talks are in the early stages, and since this is all information through sources, it might not happen at all.

Ubisoft revealed a new short-term road map on Friday for Star Wars Outlaws following a surprise announcement that it would be overhauling its development process because of weak sales.

A Ubisoft spokesperson called the Outlaws launch "softer than expected" in a statement to investors earlier this week, and promised that it would be implementing updates to polish the game and "improve the player experience" in the hopes it'll sell more copies this holiday season.
