Ubisoft E3 2019 predictions

Ubisoft has confirmed that there Will be three new AAA titles announced during their conference. They have also confirmed that Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Skulls & Bones will not be there. These are the foundations on which I base my prediction.

So what can the three (3) new AA games be? Well we pretty much know that one of them is a sports game called Roller Champions which will be based off the sport of roller derby. I can see two scenarios for this game it will either A be the new Rocket League or B be a complete flop. But only time will tell if there even is any truth to this rumor going around. The second of these three titles is thought to be Watch Dogs 3. Rumor says it will take place in London, UK, and the combat will include smaller firearms and melee instead of proper guns. You may also be able to choose what gender you want to play as.

But what is this third game then? I see either of these two happening, next year's Assassin's Creed gets announced or Splinter Cell makes a return. They have already stated that the year of 2019 will see DLC packages for AC Odyssey instead of a proper new game. But I can still see them announcing the next game with a trailer or at the very least a teaser. Splinter Cell is a sleeping title ever since the Blacklist which came out in 2013 and it's a very beloved franchise and Ubisoft knows this. The market for real proper stealth games is also very thin for us consumers where Hitman is pretty much alone.

But is there any games that with certainty will get some attention? Of course! We have the new The Division 2 that will get new content announced, same thing with Rainbow Six Siege. Ubisoft has also teased that we´ll get new information on what the future holds for For Honor. I think it's also highly likely that Yves Guillemot (Ubisoft´s CEO) will give us the dates for the coming Assassin´s Creed Odyssey DLC packages which has been promised throughout the year.

Just weeks ago Ubisoft revealed Ghost Recon Breakpoint and this title will for sure take up a big chunk of the conference time. My guess is that we will see a bunch of gameplay footage and story elements with it.

There are however two games (I´ve given up on Prince of Persia ever coming back at this point) that I would love to be announced. I would love to see a new Rayman game, just use the same foundation that Rayman Legends are built on, throw in some cool stages and make sure it runs just as good, and you have a very, very solid platformer. The rhythm stages in Rayman Legends is some of the best platforming I´ve ever played!

One game that I think is flying under the radar is Mario+Rabbids, Ubisoft managed to get permission from Nintendo to use some of their most iconic characters and gave us a game heavily inspired by Xcom but with this amazing colorful world with combat which felt amazing. They even managed to get something useful out of the Rabbids! Give me a sequel! Or at the very least a new heavy expansion! Do this and you “win” E3 2019 in my eyes Ubisoft!

What do you think Ubisoft will give us at E3 2019? Let me know down in the comments.
