Announced during Ubisoft E3 keynote, Trials will be making its comeback to the gaming consoles, withTrials Rising.
Set in Washington D.C., the game takes place seven months after a deadly virus was released in New York City and the nation has become a shell of its former glory. While the virus has been contained, its effects are most evident in the devastated streets of the nation’s capital where survivors cling to hope and struggle to rebuild. Enter The Division, a unit of civilian sleeper agents who now must work to stop enemy factions from completely taking over the city – and ultimately, the nation.

Skull & Bones showed off a new PvPvE mode called Hunting Grounds. Setting players lose in the open Indian Ocean, this new mode will let them hunt merchant ships, loot trade routes, and sink enemy vessels either as a lone wolf or part of a pirate gang. As you pillage and plunder your way towards fame and notoriety, you’ll have to fend off the forces of powerful empires, fiendish rival pirates, and even the treacherous ocean itself.
A collaboration between Ubisoft Montreal and SpectreVision, Transference is the new game from Ubisoft.
Transference is a VR experience that forces players into a chilling tale of a boy caught in his father’s destructive obsession. As players explore the maze-like puzzles of a deranged mind, they’ll also be navigating a multi-branching narrative, played out by real actors. Both segments of Transference, the game, and the movie, play with the truth. Items glitch in and out as the player explores, and the snippets of family drama reveal a troubled history of lies and a dangerous fixation.
Ubisoft also announced Starlink: Battle for Atlas, which will feature a special character with the studio’s collaboration with Nintendo.
Set in the Atlas star system 400-lightyears from Earth, players fight an alien legion using laser guns and powerful spacecraft. Players will be able to buy toys that, when connected to a special component, will unlock their counterpart spacecraft parts in the game. What’s more is that Star Fox’s Fox McCloud will appear in Starlink: Battle for Atlas.
Starlink: Battle for Atlas will be available on Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 on Oct. 16. Fox McCloud will be exclusive to the Nintendo Switch.

Ubisoft’s upcoming game, The Crew 2, also featured at the studios’ E3 keynote, showcasing the game’s trailer and its upcoming beta.

The game will send players to the Greco-Roman era. Players will be able to choose their protagonist, Alexios or Kassandra, two warriors traversing the war-torn country. Both Alexios and Kassandra are bequeathed the broken sphere of Leonides, a legendary weapon that makes them especially powerful. From then on, each character makes choices that define their adventure going forward.
