Ubisoft Confirms Gamescom 2022 Attendance

Gamescom returns as a hybrid in-person/online event this August, and the pieces have begun falling into – and in several cases, out of – place. Although several big publishers have already pulled out of what’s arguably the biggest convention in gaming, Ubisoft has confirmed it will have a presence at the show.

Ubisoft’s attendance is noteworthy because other heavy-hitters such as Nintendo, Sony, Take-Two, and Activision are skipping the show this year. Although there’s no confirmed list of attendees, THQ Nordic will also attend and plans to reveal four unannounced games. 

As for what Ubisoft has in store, we know that it plans to discuss the future of Assassin’s Creed during its own special event in September, so we probably won’t learn anything substantial about the next mainline entry at Gamescom. Prince of Persia Remake: The Sands of Time Remake’s development team recently moved, making it unlikely the game will be relaunched. Do we see Skull & Bones, the development of which Ubisoft described as proceeding “well” earlier this year? Splinter Cell Makeover? Beyond Good & Evil 2? We’ll have to tune in to find out. 

Gamescom is taking place at the Koelnmesse Convention Centre in Cologne from August 24-28. Opening Night Live is the main event featuring game trailers and reveals. It will be hosted by Geoff Keighley.
