E3 2019‘s conferences were filled with newly revealed titles, and Ubisoft’s was no exception. These are all of the new games revealed at Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference.
Watch Dogs Legion
Though news of its announcement leaked before the press conference, Ubisoft gave fans plenty of reason to tune in with their official reveal of Watch Dogs Legion.
Set in a police state version of London, the game sees players take the role of members of the resistance. Each has their own skills they can incorporate into completing missions, from muscling their way through enemies to hacking into security systems.
This is impressive enough, but the real hook of the game comes from just how many potential characters players can play as. Each and every NPC in the game, from little old ladies to precautions youths to retired spies, can become playable characters.
Not only that, but players can switch between them on the fly, selecting the character that’s best for any given mission.
It’s an ambitious premise to be sure, and players only need to wait until Mar. 2020 to dive into it for themselves.
Gods and Monsters
Developed by the team behind Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Gods and Monsters is set to offer gamers an experience that seems both nostalgic and innovative all at once.
Set in a world out of ancient greek myths, the game sees players take part in an adventure of unknown proportions. As a character they’ll create themselves, they’ll take on mythical monsters, traverse harrowing landscapes and meet with gods like Zeus.
There aren’t many firm details regarding the story and characters yet, but the title’s visuals are already something to behold.
Boasting vibrant colors and stunning vistas, the teaser looks like a cross between Breath of the Wild and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey in the best ways possible.
The game currently has a release window of February 2020, so there’s sure to be more news and details on the game released in the near future.
Roller Champions
A new offering from the folks at Ubisoft Montreal, Roller Champions provides a new competitive multiplayer title for players to clash and race against one another in.
Using a 3v3 framework of the Roller Derby sport, players are divided into two teams. Each team is tasked with getting their hands on a ball, after which they’ll need to race around a track and lob the ball into a goal.
Of course, just like in regular Roller Derbies, this is easier said than done. The team without the ball will be tasked with smashing into and otherwise debilitating the player with the ball, stealing it and then racing around the track to score a goal of their own.
From what was shown of the game via a teaser trailer, this can lead to matches packed with pure mayhem as players collide constantly, narrowly dodge being taken out and score goals from insane angles and positions.
As for when players can get their hands on it, there are currently two options: One is to try out the E3 demo available from June 10-14. The other is to wait for its full release in early 2020.
Rainbow Six Quarantine
A newly formed team within Ubisoft has been hard at work on the new Rainbow Six Quarantine, and we got our first glimpse of the game in the form of a teaser.
Building off the concept of a limited time event from Rainbow Six Siege, Quarantine sees up to three players tasked with surviving an onslaught of ravenous creatures while trying to secure a package or person of interest.
The teaser trailer shows this concept from the person of interest’s perspective. Holding out in a corner of a facility with some sort of device and affliction on their arm, the person nearly makes a last stand before a group of operatives arrive to help them.
Fans of Siege will notice that these are the same operatives from Siege, and that their characters carry over into this new title.
Little else is known about the wider premise behind the game, but given that it only has a tentative release window of 2020, it’s safe to assume more details will be revealed in the future.
Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad
What would happen if characters from Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, Rainbow Six, and The Division came together in one tactical combat game?
This is the question posed by Tom Clancy’s Elite Squad, a mobile title combining elements from across the wide range of Ubisoft’s titles based off Tom Clancy’s works.
In it, players guide a rag-tag group of operatives against waves of enemies, using each of their skill sets to ensure they make it out alive and can apply their talents to the next mission.
Of course, this is easier said than done. In almost every instance, players will be out-positioned and out-gunned, forcing them to get creative and utilize whatever strategies that can come up with.
It’s sure to at least be an interesting twist on the franchises it utilizes, and players can sign up to be a part of the game’s beta today for a special day one reward.
Just Dance 2020
Admittedly, it wasn’t the biggest shock that Just Dance would be getting a new release in the form of Just Dance 2020. Still, it managed to make an impact with a rather touching celebration of the series’ run so far, via a teaser trailer.
The teaser shows several of the dancers used to promote past games in a locker room, reminiscing about the impact they had through streamers, fans or anyone else who played and enjoyed the game.
They then broke out into dance to some of the new tracks that will be included in 2020, such as Panic! at the Disco’s “High Hopes” and BlackPink’s “Kill This Love.”
It was all about what anyone who has seen a Just Dance reveal at E3 would expect, but it was a good ode to how far the series has come in 10 years and what it’s all about.
It likewise came with a release window for the game, stating that Just Dance 2020 would be available to play in November on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Stadia, the Nintendo Switch and, surprisingly, the Nintendo Wii.
