As expected, Ubisoft is holding a media briefing at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo. The press conference will take place on 2:30 p.m. PST on the 15th of June. The company will be bringing back celebrity Aisha Tyler to host what should be another exciting event. Below, you can find a list of games to expect at the Ubisoft E3 2015 press conference.
Confirmed Games
Ubisoft has already confirmed three games that will be at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. You can find them below.
Assassin’s Creed Syndicate – The latest mainline installment of Assassin’s Creed was recently announced as Syndicate is going to take place in the Victorian era of London. The multiplayer has been removed as the game will focus on the single-player campaign, which will have two main playable characters. After the disappointing Assassin’s Creed Unity, Ubisoft has a lot to prove to win back a lot of fans to the series.
You can preorder Assassin’s Creed Syndicate with this link on Amazon.
Tom Clancy’s The Division – The Division made an impressive debut at E3 2013. Unfortunately, the videogame is still in development two years later and recently suffered a delay that pushed it back from a late 2015 launch to 2016. With that said, the publisher should provide another huge blowout for the impressive third-person shooting multiplayer game at this year’s event.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege – Last year, Ubisoft made a big splash with the reveal of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. With a launch date set for October 13th, the company should be doing as much as possible to sell first-person shooter at the press conference, especially when you consider that it will have to contend with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, Halo 5: Guardians and Star Wars Battlefront in the crowded fall release period.

Potential Surprises
Of course, CEO Yves Guillemot also teased that there will also be a few surprises and unannounced games at media briefing. You can find a list of potential reveals below.
Beyond Good and Evil 2 – The sequel to the beloved Beyond Good and Evil was teased as far back as 2008. Despite hearing next to nothing on the project, Ubisoft has repeatedly stated that it is still in development over the years. So, hopefully, we can finally get an update on Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 2015.
Hero – In a financial report, the company recently confirmed that they are planning to launch a new AAA game by the end of March in 2016. A lot of gamers are speculating that this may be Hero, a new intellectual property that was leaked around a year ago. So you can expect to see something regarding the open-world role-playing game at the company’s E3 2015 media briefing.
Far Cry 4 DLC – Although it is unlikely that we will be seeing Far Cry 5 at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, we might hear about some DLC packs for the fourth installment. Ubisoft recently sent out a survey asking fans about dinosaurs and vampires. Hopefully, these potential expansions will end up as good as Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell – It has been two years since the release of Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist. So E3 2015 may be the right time to reveal a new installment in the popular stealth series. If they do announced it, the development team should make the new game be more like the earlier titles of the franchise.
UbiArt Framework – One of the pleasant surprises of the past Electronic Entertainment Expos is UbiArt Framework. The game engine was created for stunning 2D games such as Rayman Origins, Rayman Legends, Child of Light and Valiant Hearts: The Great War. Hopefully, we will see more of these smaller projects at the press conference.
Watch Dogs 2 – The original Watch Dogs, while flawed, is one of the best selling new intellectual properties of this generation of console gaming. So it is only matter of time that a sequel will be announced. With that said, Ubisoft is going to have plenty to prove in Watch Dogs 2 if they want the franchise to keep its momentum.
Prince of Persia – In 2013, Ubisoft stated that they were considering a new installment for the Prince of Persia series. Thus, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see a new game in the beloved series appear again at the upcoming briefing.
As you can see above, the third-party publisher has more than enough games to announce and/or show off at their upcoming E3 2015 press conference. So make sure you don’t miss out on what should be an exciting event for Ubisoft fans.
