Ubisoft Celebrates 30 Years of Creating Games at E3 2016
Today, Ubisoft reveals its plans for E3 2016, where its creative teams will present highly anticipated titles such as Watch Dogs 2, For Honor or Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. They’ll also detail new content coming for live games and – as usual – unveil some surprises.
The week will kick off with the Ubi E3 2016 Conference, taking place on Monday, June 13 starting at 1 p.m. PDT and preceded by a 30-minute pre-show. E3 attendees can experience Ubisoft games at its booth (booth #1023, South Hall, Los Angeles Convention Center) from June 14 – 16. More than 1,700 fans also have the opportunity to play Ubi games and meet the development teams at the fourth-annual Ubisoft Lounge.
Ubisoft E3 2016 Conference
Actress and comedian Aisha Tyler hosts her fifth Ubisoft E3 Conference, which will include all new trailers and gameplay demos for upcoming Ubisoft games. The conference will be broadcast live and on demand on Ubisoft.com, Ubisoft’s YouTube channel as well as on its Twitch channel.
Ubisoft Booth #1023, South Hall, LACC
E3 attendees can visit the Ubisoft booth to further explore the lineup, which includes:
- For Honor: Developed by Ubi Montreal, For Honor drops gamers into the chaos of a raging battlefield during an ongoing war between three Great Factions: the bold Knights, the brutal Vikings and the enigmatic Samurai. For every battle, players can choose which warrior they want to embody amongst the unique Heroes from this pantheon, using their distinct skills and weapons to fight for land, people and honor, decimating all soldiers, archers and opposing Heroes who stand in their way.
- Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands: Set a few years from now, Ghost Recon Wildlands lets players lead a team of Ghosts, a four-player U.S. Elite Special Operations unit, on a covert mission to eliminate the Santa Blanca drug cartel, an underworld power and growing global threat within Ubi’s imagining of an incredibly beautiful, yet dangerous Bolivia.
- South Park The Fractured But Whole: Delve into the crime-ridden underbelly of South Park as the newest member of Coon & Friends. As the New Kid, players must harness their super powers to fight crime and become part of the most beloved superhero franchise of all time.
- Eagle Flight: Developed exclusively for virtual reality, players will soar over the skies of Paris as an eagle and experience the freedom of flight. Players take on enemies in fast-paced multiplayer battles for up to 3v3 or level-up flying skills in single player to navigate their eagle gracefully through the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Special guests will be in attendance and a jam-packed program of performances is scheduled throughout the week.
