Ubisoft has announced that its annual Forward event will return this summer.
In a recentpost shared to X(formerly Twitter), the publisher confirmed that the Ubisoft Forward showcase will return for its second-ever event on June 10, 2024, in Los Angeles.
The event, which will also likely be live-streamed for those not in physical attendance, will occur during the same week as Summer Game Fest, set for June 7, as well asDay of the Devs: SGF Edition.
We’re still waiting on other publishers, likeMicrosoft, to confirm their attendance, but fans should expect numerous other presentations to occupy the space left by E3 after it waspermanently shut downlast year.
Ubisoft hasn’t offered any specific details as to what fans can expect from the showcase, but has said that there will be announcements regarding “updates and upcoming releases”.
