We recorded an extra episode of The Nerd Stash Show this week to recap the recent Ubisoft Forward event from the pre-show to the Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla gameplay demo. You can check out a synopsis, timestamps, and the episode itself down below:
“Hello, and welcome to a special episode of The Nerd Stash Show! Ubisoft just finished presenting their E3-like event, Ubisoft Forward, giving gamers a glimpse into some of what the mega-publisher is working on. We got a new look at Watch Dogs Legion, an open beta announcement for the latest competitor in the battle royale space Hyper Scape, our first GAMEPLAY(!!!) presentation of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, and an official confirmation about Far Cry 6. Some good stuff.”

Another Ubisoft Forward Event Is Coming Later This Year
Although Ubisoft showcased a few of their upcoming games like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla, Watch Dogs Legion, and Far Cry 6, there were some notable games missing from the event. That said, we could see those games turn up later in the year. During the Ubisoft Forward event, CEO Yves Guillemot said:
“We haven’t shown you everything yet. In fact, we have a lot more to come, so you will have another Ubisoft Forward to reveal even more about our upcoming games.”
So, we don’t know when exactly we’ll see the next Ubisoft Forward showcase but fans can take a sigh of relief knowing that they could still see some new Beyond Good and Evil 2 or Gods and Monsters footage later this year.
