When most think of Ubisoft they think of the incredibly popular and belovedAssassin’s Creedfranchise, and withAssassin’s Creed Valhallataking fans to one of its most demanded settings, the series has been a hot topic of late. That doesn’t seem to have stopped fans from flooding this Ubisoft tweet with comments asking for aRaymansequel, however.
That said, aRaymansequelisn’t the only thing that fans are excited for, as there are plenty of other Ubisoft games that could get a spotlight at July’s Ubisoft Forward.Assassin’s Creed Valhallais of course a potential candidate, and it may even get a gameplay reveal, something it was lacking at Inside Xbox. Beyond that, there are many callouts for information onFar Cry 6,Watch Dogs: Legion, and evenPrince of Persia.
The other possibility is that Ubisoft may reveal an entirely new IP. If theXbox Series X Gameplay Revealis anything to go off of, it seems that a lot of developers are focusing on creating entirely new game franchises for next generation consoles. That isn’t to say that classic game series will disappear, just that there may be an influx of new ideas and games. This should serve as a breath of fresh air for some, as there must be bold new ideas out there which can capture players' attention.
At the moment, all of this is speculation, but Ubisoft did refer to the event as a “digital showcase withexclusive game news, reveals, and more.” This means that there will most definitely be some interesting info at the event, and fans should remember to tune in on July 12th.
