Ubisoft confirming its appearance at Gamescom 2022 will likely help give fans a reason to watch the event, as with Nintendo and PlayStation both dropping out, it seemed that other major industry heavy hitters could be giving the showcase a miss as well. However, with PlayStation and Nintendo preferring to host their own events via State of Plays or Nintendo Directs, it does make sense that the platform owners would skip a third-party event such as Gamescom in a similar fashion to this year’s Summer Games Fest.

While fans are likely to be hyped to see what upcoming games Ubisoft is working on, especially after the publisher announced it was working on multiple new AAA titles, one of its major franchises may be missing Gamescom. Assassin’s Creed seems to have a bright future ahead of it, with the next game Assassin’s Creed Rift seemingly all but confirmed, and the ambitious Assassin’s Creed Infinity looking more promising as time goes on. However, it is unlikely that Ubisoft’s show at Gamescom will feature any of the historical action games.

This is likely due to the fact that Assassin’s Creed announced its own event in September this year. With Gamescom taking place in August, it seems redundant to have a load of Assassin’s Creed news dropped so close to when the franchise will have its own event. However, there are plenty of announced Ubisoft titles to look forward to besides Assassin’s Creed. It seems likely that there will be an official confirmation on a Skull and Bones release date after the game was recently rated by the ESRB. Also, there’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which is expected to release within the next nine months or so.

Beyond games that Ubisoft has already announced, there are a few titles which could be officially revealed at Gamescom too. Games like a sequel to Immortals: Fenyx Rising and The Crew 3 were rumored to be in the works earlier this year, so it may be time for a proper reveal of those titles. Even without Assassin’s Creed then, it seems Ubisoft has plenty of possibilities for Gamescom.
