Ubisoft at E3 2015: ‘Assassin’s Creed,’ ‘Just Dance’ and new IPs

Ubisoft (featuring Aisha Tyler, as always) has revealed quite a lengthy list of games at this year’s E3. It includes new entries in fan favorite series Assassin’s Creed and Just Dance, as well as new IPs for those who’d rather try something fresh. We’ve listed them all below the fold along with their trailers, so you can get a quick glimpse of what the French gamemaker has in store for this year and next.

South Park: The Fractured but Whole

Ubisoft picked up where the Stick of Truth left off for this South Park superhero-themed game. It’s currently still in development, so there’s no release date yet. But, it’s now open for pre-order if playing a diminutive, foul-mouthed superhero’s your thing.

For Honor

For Honor is one of Ubisoft’s new IPs announced on stage this year and will be available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. It’s a multiplayer game, where you can play a Knight, a Samurai or a Viking on the battlefield. The title features what’s called the “Art of Battle system,” which gives you more control over your character’s weapon.

The Crew: Wild Run

Wild Run is an expansion pack that promises to breathe new life into the action-driving game, The Crew. It will be available starting on October 17th this year for Xbox One, PS4 and Windows.

Trials Fusion: Awesome Level Max

Ubisoft calls Awesome Level Max its biggest DLC yet for Trials Fusion, adding an odd unicorn-riding cat and 30 new tracks to the game. It will be available from the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, and as a digital download for Windows as soon as July 14th.

Tom Clancy’s The Division

This post-apocalyptic online shooter’s been a long time coming. It was first announced back in 2013, but the developers chose to wait until the game’s polished enough for release rather than letting an unfinished title hit the market. This year, Ubisoft has revealed that it comes with a multiplayer mode called DarkZone. The Division is now slated for release on March 8th, 2016 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC, and you’re guaranteed access to the beta if you pre-order the game.

Anno 2205

Anno 2205 is a city builder — in space! It gives you the power to build sprawling metropolises in several locations on Earth and on the moon. You can get access to beta if you pre-order the game, which will be out in November.

Just Dance 2016

This Just Dance version doesn’t need motion controllers to work with the Xbox One, Wii U and PS4 — you can play, so long as you have a smartphone loaded with its accompanying app. Plus, you can subscribe to the Just Dance Unlimited streaming service to get new content as it comes out. The game will be available starting on October 22nd, 2015, but you’ll soon be able to try it out for free on its website.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege

Ubisoft has revealed two new things about Rainbow Six: Siege on stage. First, “Six,” the team’s leader, will be voiced by actress Angela Bassett. Second, it will feature a mode called “Terrohunt,” which pits a solo player or multiplayer teams against AI enemies. The game’s beta will be available on all platforms starting on September 24th.

Trackmania: Turbo

This arcade racing game features 200 tracks and lets you play with friends either online or on a split screen when offline. You can also build your own tracks if you want.

Assassin’s Creed Syndicate

Syndicate is set in the midst of the Industrial Revolution in London and puts players in control of Jacob Frye, who uses a classy cane-sword (among other paraphernalia) as a weapon. It will be available on October 23rd, 2015 on Xbox One, PS4 and PC. As a nice bonus, you can also play as Jacob’s twin sister Evie.

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands

Ghost Recon Wildlands is set in Bolivia, which has become the biggest cocaine producer in the world. It’s a military, open-world shooter, where you can play as one of the Ghosts: a US special forces team sent to take down the cartel. You can either play solo or as part of a 4-player coop on PS4, Xbox ONE and PC, though when you’ll be able to is still up in the air.
