The Ubisoft Forward event had a strong start and finish, but the middle section felt like filler content.
The open-world Star Wars game Star Wars Outlaws received mixed reactions, with some finding it generic and others intrigued by its mechanics.
Ciaran felt that Ubisoft should reconsider its presentation format and focus on delivering more impactful announcements. Skull and Bones presentation was lackluster and focused on requested features and desperate pleas for players to keep playing
Prince of Persia received mixed reactions, with a new DLC announced but a delay for the game announced in 2020
Assassin's Creed Shadows showcased gameplay with two protagonists, a samurai and a ninja, with the ninja gameplay receiving more positive feedback
