Beyond Good and Evil 2

Release Date Not Set

This is the trailer that has everyone talking. Fans of the original game might be a little disappointed in the first trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2, but that is no reason not to get excited. The world looks immense and the interaction is something straight out of a movie. This is one of Ubisoft’s most beloved games, so you can bet that by launch time it will be perfect! This game takes us to an entirely new solar system, System 3. Will you be able to hold on to your freedom and set you fate in the stars? Players will have the ability to play solo, or in a vast multiplayer sandbox.

Skull and Bones

Fall 2018

Just watch out for Pirate hunter ships and rival Pirate sneak attacks! This isn’t a game that takes place in the Caribbean, as one might suggest. Skull and Bones takes place in the Indian Ocean, between Africa, India, Asia, and the coast of Australia. This game is coming to PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4.

The Crew 2

Early 2018

Ubisoft brings you the sequel to one of the most revolutionary franchises to date. The Crew 2 pits together the passion of American Motorsport and places it in a massive open world setting.

Transference

Spring 2018

Transference is a psychological VR thriller that looks to bridge the gap between gaming and film. This is the first time that Ubisoft and SpectreVision have collaborated on a game, and the results look great.
