just finished Ubisoft Forward 2023, another event that was planned a few months ago, when E3 was supposed to take place on these dates, but without a direct link to the fair. And so, just like Microsoft with its Xbox Showcase 2023, which took place yesterday, although the fair was definitely canceled (we still hope that only for this year, although there are reasons to think that more permanently), the French firm today made a highly anticipated presentation.

We expected, especially from the trailer we saw at Microsoft’s event yesterday, so that you can see the pictures of the for the first time gameplay from Star Wars Outlaws. Unlike those from Redmond, who had a basket full of news and were allowed to show the new titles of the Star Wars family practically right at the beginning, Ubisoft kept this long-awaited moment at the end of its presentation, trying in this way to leave a good taste in our mouths.

So we’ll see, the most interesting news of this Ubisoft Forward 2023.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

A development that we knew about for more than five years and expected to see the light of day at the same time as the release of the film, until James Cameron announced that, in fact, its plot is located between Avatar: The Sense. of Water, and the following sequel, originally planned for next year. We finally saw the first one gameplay of this open world (being able to explore Pandora is really tempting) and we expect it to be released on December 7, 2023.

xdefiant

Ubisoft, which has been on the market since 2021, announced some interesting news for this shooter, and we also got to see how a group of players reacted to them, who were able to test them in a closed beta that took place in early 2023. New maps, new factions , more weapons and more news that players will be able to test in an open beta that will take place at the end of the summer.

Prince of Persia The Lost Crown

Ubisoft is reviving this mythical saga with The Lost Crown, of which we could see the first trailer in this Ubisoft Forward 2023 after being shown to us last week at the Summer Game Fest. We see in it new combat techniques, enemies that seem very complex and that surprise us with some of their attacks, and some graphics that keep the saga very current. It is scheduled to launch on January 18, 2024.

Crew Motorfest

The Crew saga has become one of Ubisoft’s great successes, thanks to its arcade approach reminiscent of Forza Horizon, that is, it favors action over simulation realism, providing a faster, less technical experience and therefore more casual and fun for many. . And they tell us that The Crew Motorfest will bring us a festival dynamic (something we’ve already seen at Horizon) in Hawaii. We won’t have to wait long as it will hit the market on September 14th.

Assassin’s Creed

There are several announcements we could see regarding another of the company’s most successful sagas. On the one hand, in addition to seeing a trailer for the Nexus VR that was announced a few years ago, it’s finally been confirmed to arrive next Christmas, exclusively for Meta Quest 2, 3 and Pro .

On the other hand, they also showed us a trailer for the story of Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which will take over Valhalla as part of the main line of the franchise and return the saga to its roots after its jump to the world of Vikings. It will be available from October 12

Star Wars Outlaws

The most anticipated afternoon was undoubtedly the new title, which aims to take us back to the universe created by George Lucas for Star Wars. This new adventure takes place in the time period between Episodes IV and V, and from what we’ve been able to see, it’s going to be a first-person adventure set in an open world, a formula that fits pretty well a priori. for Star Wars. We could see images in which we are accompanied by an adorable creature that will help us in stealth actions, moving and speeder chases and of course also in the occasional shooting. And when will we be able to enjoy all this? In 2024
