The Ubisoft Forward event gave us insight into all of the studio’s upcoming games and projects. We were also introduced to the highly anticipated Far Cry 6 trailer starring Giancarlo Esposito. The event was divided into 3 parts; the pre-show, the main event, and the post-show. Read about all the major updates from the main event below

Ubisoft Forward Main event

Watch Dogs: Legion

The main event kicked off with a short film showing the story behind ‘Watch Dogs: Legion.’ The short film was followed by the trailer for Legion. The game is based in a futuristic London where a terrorist attack puts the city under lockdown. The government decides to appoint a private military outfit to bring order to the city. The outfit is led by Nigel Cass, the game’s main antagonist. There is another major villain who goes by the name of Mary Kelly, the biggest crime lord in the city.

A gameplay trailer gave us insight into the open world and character capabilities of Watch Dogs: Legion. The game releases on October 29, 2020.
