Ubisoft reportedly has pulled out of E3 2023 adding another major publisher to opt-out.
Ubisoft Forward Coming to Summer Game Fest But Not E3
Following the news of the return of Summer Game Fest 2023, Geoff Keighley shared Ubisoft Forward would be part of the games conference. This doesn’t look good for E3 as they have already lost major companies such asNintendo, Sony and Microsoftwho have all chosen to host their own showcases around the same time.
Previously Ubisoft announced they would be taking part in the E3 after the event’s hiatus. However, looks to be having their Ubisoft Forward at Summer Game Fest instead.
