For Honor.

Title room is not enough.

 

[Nightengale]

Wild Lands is fiscal 2016 game? Unexpected.

 

[Akai__]

South Park: Fractured But Whole and Watch Dogs 2 is all I need. Hope at least one is this year, but take your time to make them awesome, please.

 

[Deleted member 471617]

Wildlands please!!!

 

[Auctopus]

I hope Wildlands is this year.

 

[Nirolak]

Wild Lands is fiscal 2016 game? Unexpected.

Well, it's Ubisoft, so at least one of these will get delayed out of the fiscal year in all likelihood.

 

[diablos991]

For Honor is going to be glorious!

 

[Struct09]

Sounds like a decent lineup. Really looking forward to South Park and am cautiously optimistic for both Watch Dogs 2 and For Honor.

 

[Markitron]

I can't see South Park being before the end of the year, I'd say it will release in March like the last one.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

For Honor and Wildlands have my attention-

 

[eerik9000]

The Fractured but Whole was announced as a 2016 title, so yeah, that's before March 2017.

Tbh if Watch Dogs 2 is only PC/PS4/XB1 they could probably match that old E3 demo.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

For Honor.

thanks, i wouldn't have ever guessed that lol

 

[xrnzaaas]

Hopefully WD2 will be to WD1 what AC2 was to AC1.

 

[Hockey123]

Looking forward to all of these, especially South Park. I still have to go back to play the first Watch Dogs though.

 

[Yoday]

Huh, I wonder what the new thing could be? Would they do another MMO like game?

 

[Portugeezer]

Hope WD2 is this year.

 

[GitarooMan]

I'm really looking forward to the Ghost Recon game, seems like it has a lot of potential

 

[tioslash]

So WD2 will probably be the closing act on Ubisoft´s E3 press conference this year and we´ll see more WildLands gameplay. Interested to see how those games turn out.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm definitely down for another Watch Doges and Ghost Recon Wildlands looked really good to me. I hope at least one of the two is out this holiday.

 

[Jb]

South Park still exists?

 

[datwr]

Hopefully WD2 will be to WD1 what AC2 was to AC1.

God damn it, don't bring my hopes up like that, my heart can't take it.,

 

[atr0cious]

For Honor is going to be glorious!

I hate ubisoft, but after how solid r6 Seige and wild run are, I'm really hyped to see for honor take off. I might even buy it full price.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I'm actually interested to see them build on Watch_Dogs. First game was decent, but flawed by an unlikeable main character and a hackneyed story.

 

[Nirolak]

Huh, I wonder what the new thing could be? Would they do another MMO like game?

Ubisoft's digital revenue (which has a very high profit margin) is notably low compared to the other flagship publishers (EA, Activision, and Take-Two).

As such, they're investing a lot in service games to improve that dramatically. They view Rainbow Six, The Division, Ghost Recon, and For Honor as all being part of this push.

 

[najehe]

I can't see South Park being before the end of the year, I'd say it will release in March like the last one.

Right. It is going to be a Spring 2017 release.

 

[Nirolak]

I'm definitely down for another Watch Doges and Ghost Recon Wildlands looked really good to me. I hope at least one of the two is out this holiday.

Watch Dogs 2 was rumored by Kotaku to be the game they're releasing this Fall in place of Assassin's Creed, so it's the most likely to hit this calendar year.

 

[Jospina]

I'm excited for Watch Dogs 2.

The media response towards Watch Dogs kind of tainted my enjoyment of it, because it kept being compared to GTA5, which I had never played because it came out late on PC. I still enjoyed it regardless, but when i finally got GTA5 on PC I had the sudden realization that Watch Dogs was actually just as good a game, if not smaller in scale. They are both 8/10 games, one was massively over-hyped and the other one was completely shit on by the media for questionable reasons.

 

[malfcn]

Excellent.

I liked Watch Dogs.
And I still have to play Stick of Truth.

 

[LuuKyK]

I didnt personally play WatchDogs so I wouldnt know, but does its plot allow for very different settings like Assassins Creed? As someone interested in the sequel more than the original due to time of release etc, I am afraid it will start to look stagnant and samey otherwise.

 

[thenexus6]

WHERE IS MY SPLINTER CELL?!

 

[Hurricane43]

Wow so cool I really wanna sit at your lunch table... Can I please...

 

[Baron_Calamity]

and a new high-potential AAA brand with strong digital live services

Soooo... a F2P MOBA FPS?

 

[Markitron]

And I still have to play Stick of Truth.

Play it, it's fucking awesome.

 

[Hockey123]

I believe it's rumored to take place in San Fransico, which should be fairly different than Chicago in the first game.

 

[Asd202]

So Watch Dogs 2 at E3?

 

[Akai__]

South Park still exists?

Why wouldn't it? The 1st game was a success.

So Watch Dogs 2 at E3?

100%. Anything that will release by March 2017 will be at E3.

 

[MauroNL]

So I'm guessing something like:

September - For Honor
October - Watch Dogs 2
November - Ghost Recon Wildlands
February - South Park Fractured but Whole

Maybe switch For Honor and South Park depending on how far they are.

 

[LycanXIII]

So Watch Dogs instead of Assassin's Creed this year.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

So Watch Dogs instead of Assassin's Creed this year.

Isn't WatchDogs and Assassin's Creed the same universe?

 

[Meader]

Confirms the Assassin's Creed rumours.

 

[Obliterator]

I'm actually interested in all these titles + The Division. If Ubi delivers quality they could end up with a lot of my money over the next year

 

[Hristi]

Hoping Watch Dogs 2 follow the footsteps of AC 2.

 

[PSOreo]

I guess this is Ubisoft's chance to prove Watch Dogs can be decent, Assassins Creed's best was the second so hopefully this sequel will deliver the excitement we all got from the E3 reveal. I hope For Honour will have some depth to it as I like the concept and the three type of warrior but it'll need to avoid repetition. Most hyped for South Park though but can't say the same for Ghost Recon, never been a fan.
