If Avatar is really going to come out this year, it will probably take up a large part of the stream, we haven't seen anything about the game except for the announcement trailer.

Guess this where we'll be seeing the new Assassin's Creed. Any idea what it's supposed to be? Hopeful we'll get a look at that Star Wars game they got too.

I want to be excited for this but I can't. I hope they prove me wrong

Would like to learn more about Avatar and when Ubisoft+ will be on xbox. Will definitely be using that to play Avatar.

I don't care if it's 3 years out or more given what Massive is currently working on but I hope they announce The Division 3 in some capacity. I'm afraid the series might be done outside of the Heartland project.

Seems a tad early to announce a single company event like this. But I'll keep my eye on this.

Hopefully they show something Splinter Cell related. Even if it is just a tease.

Why announce it so early? So many things can go wrong in the time between now and the event.

Massive arent making The Division 3. They are finishing up on Avatar and moving to a Star Wars game next. In their scale of games it doesnt make much sense for Massive to be working on multiple projects in full production simultaniously.

I can't even remember the last time I thought an Ubisoft Forward was good, but maybe with Avatar (maybe) coming out this fall and their Star Wars project in development, this will have something worthwhile for me for once.

How many new thrilling battle arena/royale games will they announce? I hope SC at least is still single player.

I really hope Avatar makes it out this year. Considering it's been in development so long, I expect it to be a notch above most licensed movie games of the past (outside of Insomniac's Spider-Man).

I think Div 3 is still coming, just not till after their Star Wars project…. Unless they also wanna do sequels to that and Avatar, in which case yeah, series may be done/moved over to a different team

The only game that matters is Rocksmith+. It is rumored to have keyboard support.

Aside from Assassin's Creed Infinity the rumours suggest that the next AC game to release will be a smaller game, set before Valhalla, located in (and probably around) Baghdad, with Basim as the main character. The suggestion for much of the time that these rumours were floating around was that Ubisoft weren't sure if this was a 2022 game or early 2023 - them leaving it this late means it's virtually certain to be 2023.

That sounds like it could be cool. Does the small size mean they might be going back to the old formula of stealth and parkour?

That's the suggestion. I wouldn't take that as anywhere near definite though. The rumours were that this was Valhalla DLC that was meant to offer a shorter more linear experience, something a bit more like the older AC games, and that it then got spun into its own game. That's a major change to what was intended and it's possible that other changes happened as a result.

I literally forgot about that Avatar game. This will be their big holiday release then.

What else will be there though? If Massive's Star Wars game is ready, I hope we get a glimpse of that.
That Basim Assassin's Creed sounds promising, I hope we can return to a big city setting again with Baghdad.
Division Heartland maybe? It feels like it's in development forever.

Probably too early to hope for AC Infinity?

Splinter Cell Remake and Splinter Cell VR for Quest 2 are the only things I'd be genuinely hyped for. Let's see if they show up.

Some new footage for Prince of Persia Remake at last? Probably too early for Splinter Cell but I'm interested to see Avatar and maaaybe the new Assassin's Creed.

Sounds like a direction I wanna head in. Hopefully we get the dense city vibe back from Unity. Maybe the parkour too.

Would be nice to see BH&E 2 again, but I doubt it'll be here. Same for their Star Wars project.

Interested in AC Basim and that'll be there, at least.
