Everything Revealed at Ubisoft Forward 2022

In the early hours of the morning, the latest Ubisoft Forward finally unveiled the future for the latest iterations in the Assassin’s Creed and The Division series. On top of that we saw new gameplay from Skull and Bones, information about Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, as well as updates on the coming seasons of Rider’s Republic, The Crew 2 and heaps more. Read on for a recap of all the exciting games in action.

Assassin’s Creed

The Assassin’s Creed showcase revealed the next entry in the franchise: Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which takes place in 9^th century Baghdad. The story centers on Basim Ibn Is’haq, a character first introduced in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, when he was a young man first learning the ways of the Hidden Ones. Mirage is built as an homage to the early Assassin’s Creed titles.

Ubisoft Forward also teased a glimpse of what’s to come for the franchise. Assassin’s Creed Codename RED will take players to feudal Japan for an open-world RPG experience, followed by Assassin’s Creed Codename HEXE. Assassin’s Creed Codename INFINITY will be a hub that connects players through different types of Assassin’s Creed experiences, including RED and HEXE. For players on the go, Assassin’s Creed Codename Jade will be a AAA RPG action-adventure mobile game set in ancient China. Finally, Ubisoft is partnering with Netflix to create a live-action adaptation of Assassin’s Creed and is developing a mobile game exclusively for Netflix members.

The Division

There’s a lot on the horizon for Agents of The Division franchise. The Division 2 Season 10: Price of Power is launching on September 13. Agents will embark on a new Manhunt to track down General Peter Anderson, a True Sons leader trying to ally with the Black Tusk against The Division. As you progress through the quest, you and your fellow Agents will earn rewards and cosmetic items during apparel events. Looking ahead to the future of the franchise, The Division Heartland is coming to PC, consoles, and cloud in 2022-2023.

Mythic Quest

Welcome to the year of Brittlesbee. Mythic Quest Season 3 is releasing soon, and to celebrate, Apple TV+ gave Ubisoft Forward viewers a sneak peek at what’s to come. Ian Grimm and Poppy Li have kicked off GrimPop Studios, struggling to work together (and driving Dana crazy) as they take a leap into the metaverse. Meanwhile, back at Mythic Quest HQ, David Brittlesbee finds himself truly in charge for the first time, with the ever-militant Jo by his side – and a “newly reformed” Brad as the office janitor, definitely not plotting anything. Be sure to check out the next chapter of this workplace comedy when it launches later this fall.

Brawlhalla

Brawlhalla-vania, the next Epic Crossover for the free-to-play fighting game, is coming October 19, a fang-tastic event landing just in time for Halloween.
