Ubisoft has ed the parade of publishers holding their own digital E3-style events in 2020, announcing today that Ubisoft Forward, with "news, reveals, and more" will take place in July.

Aside from promising an "E3-style showcase," Ubisoft hasn't said anything about what we can expect from the show, but if I had to take a guess I'd say that we'll probably get a good eyeful of Gods and Monsters, all of which were delayed in late 2019 after Ghost Recon Breakpoint and The Division 2 both tanked.

There will no doubt be some surprises, too. Ubisoft announced in February that it has Beyond Good and Evil 2, which Ubisoft specified in that February announcement is not one of those five games.

Ubisoft Forward will kick off at 12 pm PT/3 pm ET on July 12. Streaming platforms weren't revealed but if I had to guess about that too I'd say that Twitch is probably one of them.
