Ubisoft confirms plans to attend Gamescom this year

While initially we thought Ubisoft would be holding its own major games showcase this summer, it seems those plans have changed. Ubisoft is now holding separate events for its upcoming titles like Skull & Bones and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and will also be attending Gamescom in August. 

Today, Ubisoft will stream a new gameplay deep dive on Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, giving us an early look at the new Mario strategy game in action prior to its October release date. Next week, there is also apparently going to be a Skull & Bones re-reveal, which will give us a glimpse at everything the game has to offer, as well as a final release date after many, many delays.

Later on in August, Ubisoft will also be attending Gamescom 2022. While the publisher hasn't announced any stream or announcement plans, at the very least, there will be Ubisoft games playable at the conference on the main floor. This will likely include demos for Skull & Bones and Mario + Rabbids, and possibly even a demo for an upcoming Assassin's Creed game.

While Ubisoft has not officially announced anything yet, reliable sources have claimed that an Assassin's Creed spin-off is on the way, which will focus on one of the side characters from Assassin's Creed Valhalla.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
