WHAT WILL THE UBISOFT E3 2018 MEDIA BRIEFING FEATURE?
According to the now-infamous Walmart Canada leak, Ubisoft will have a busy E3. The Ubisoft games in the leak include Splinter Cell, The Division 2, Beyond Good and Evil 2, and an untitled Assassin's Creed game. The Division 2 has been confirmed by the developers, so we know that one is a definite yes. Splinter Cell is also likely, given Sam Fisher's recent appearance in Ghost Recon Wildlands.
As for the Assassin's Creed game, we also have some leads about what the next entry in the long-running franchise will be. According to a picture of a keychain posted online, the next game is titled Assassin's Creed Odyssey. The keychain features a helmet that looks like it could be from either ancient Rome or Greece. Rome makes the most sense, given the ending of last year's Assassin's Creed Origins.
As for other surprises, expect to learn more about Ubisoft's naval combat game Skull and Bones. This was originally set to release in late 2018, but delays have pushed it back to a 2019 or even 2020 release. Ubisoft will likely clarify the situation with Skull and Bones' development at this year's conference.
