Another Ubisoft Forward digital event is coming later in 2020

A second Ubisoft Forward software showcase is planned for later in 2020.

Ubisoft held its first fully digital conference on Sunday, offering release dates and gameplay reveals for several high-profile games.

Towards the end of the show, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said: “We haven’t shown you everything yet. In fact, we have a lot more to come, so you will have another Ubisoft Forward to reveal even more about our upcoming games.”

Ubisoft communications specialist Youssef Maguid then confirmed that the show will return later this year.

Ubisoft Forward was used to announce a Watch Dogs Legion release date of October 29, 2020, an Assassin’s Creed Valhalla release date of November 17, 2020, and a Far Cry 6 release date of February 18, 2021.
