This year's E3 is looking a little different, with several major players opting to do their own thing, rather than hold a traditional press conference. Fans of the good old days will be pleased to hear that Ubisoft plans to attend as usual, however, no doubt bringing along the usual celebrity appearance or two and a bizarre dancing panda sequence.
Yep, the company behind Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Assassin's Creed, Just Dance, Starlink: Battle for Atlas, the Rayman franchise, and plenty more will be hosting a press conference on 10th June. The show will start at 1pm PT / 4pm ET (so that's 8pm GMT / 9pm CET).
This means that, so far, we have conferences on the way from Ubisoft, Bethesda, Xbox, Devolver Digital, and even a smaller conference from Limited Run Games (who hosted a parody show last year). Nintendo will no doubt be doing its usual Direct and Treehouse Live shows, but this year also sees Sony and EA changing things up. EA is favouring multiple live streams as opposed to a conference, and Sony won't be appearing at all.
So, what are you hoping to see from Ubisoft this summer? Just Dance 2020, right? Throw your wildest ideas into the comment section below.

I clicked on the article. happy now?
I'm kinda curious about WatchDogs 3 (serious rumours say it's coming by the end of 2019).
The graphic style of WatchDogs 2 would have been technicly easy to downgrade for a Switch.
So... will Watchdogs 3 be on Switch ?
If so, that would be the sign we need to get more AAA open worlds on Switch from editors
Why Mario + Rabbids 2? I'm speaking as a fellow countryman to the game's own creators: why a sequel to that crossover, when we could finally cross Mario and Rayman?
Just Dance 2020 baby!!!! Ubi has become the best 3rd party in the business last few years and can't wait to see what they have for this year!
Just Dance......but with Nintendo characters and music
Just Dance Battle Royale
Why Mario Plus Rabbids?
Why not a new Rayman game? Or a new Red Steel game? Or a new Child of Light game?
@Grumblevolcano that could actually work..... And it would be awesome!!!
Zombie U x Sonic & Knuckles featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series.
Metroid crossover dlc for Starlink.
@Grumblevolcano No... Noooooo!!!
I second AlexSora's comment. Also, Donkey Kong × Rayman. Please Nintendo, give the license to them to make more DK games. Retro Studios has his hands full with Metroid Prime 4, so there is currently no one in charge of this franchise.
What are the chances they'll announce Beyond Good and Evil 2 is exclusively a Stadia streaming game?
@Grumblevolcano that’s a great idea
@Rafke
I love everything about Scott Pilgrim, in spite of the ridiculous difficulty of its game incarnation. Still, SPvTW:TG would be one of the most "perfect for Switch" games among the myriad of titles to be put under that catch-all genre.
As for Rayman, I wouldn't mind such a crossover, maybe combining the post-Origins era of the character with Mario. It wouldn't be that far-fetched, especially with a dash of the powerups and coins of the latter blending into the slightly-Burtonian fairytale-like infinite lives-driven environment of the former. I mean, we've seen this in Kingdom Battle...
... and this in Nintendo's own New Super Mario Bros. U:
Suddenly, the idea of a hand-drawn, wackier and more whimsical Mushroom Kingdom doesn't sound too far-fetched, does it?
@Grumblevolcano
Hoping for another Rayman!
I wonder if they have another Nintendo collaboration lined up... It'd be awesome.
E3 is killing itself. The rates they charge, the rules, the restrictions, they need the gaming industry far more than it needs them.
@AlexSora89 cus bloody Rabbids sell better then Rayman
here me out Ubisoft publishes its 2nd switch exclusive and its just called FOX and u can fight in your airwing and out of it and it will be multiplayer heavy with dog fighting modes and pvp modes
I really did enjoy Mario + Rabbids but I never returned to it after beating it. If we did get a sequel - which I would like but think they should wait a bit - it needs to have more content. It can stay focused on single player, that's the best part of it in my opinion, but I want multiple routes and more unlockable characters with more customization options. I found it a little dull just getting the next "better gun for Luigi" and having Mario and Rabbid Mario, Luigi and Rabbid Luigi, etc, felt kind of redundant. They could pull in more characters. Rabbids should be expendable pawns while the Mario characters act as commanders whom you can't let die. Kinda like Wargroove.
Just Dance 2020 for Wii and Switch
Mario + Rabbids 2 please. Put over 60 hours in the first one. Loved it.
@ClassSonicSatAm
I'm always amused by the British adjective "bloody" being a local swear word, because by removing that connotation from it we'd result in actually bloody Rabbids, leaving me wondering what an actual XCOM game featuring them would look like.
Not a huge fan of most of Ubisoft's main franchises, but a new Red Steel, Rayman, or complete collaboration surprise like Mario+Rabbids that shouldn't work but turned out amazing, would be more than welcome. Basically, give me a pleasant surprise, and I'll buy it. "unveil" the next game of any running main franchises, and I'll probably skip it (unless it takes a pleasantly surprising turn, or is Farcry 3 and 4 for Switch, for a combined €30 max).
@Grumblevolcano Monopoly Battle Royale!
No wait, come to think of it, that sounds redundant...
Red Steel 3 pleasee those were my fav wii games
Pikmin 4 please.
@rhyeee3216
Huh. I'd forgotten about Red Steel. I really enjoyed the second game.
@Ryan_Craddock please don’t put the title of a game that doesn’t exist in the sub-header of articles, as it’s the lowest form of clickbait.
We only know Ubisoft is gonna host a conference at E3 (the shock), why would you ever go as far as to mention a sequel that has never been talked about? What is the correlation between one of the biggest publishers being at E3 and a sequel to M+R?
Instead of a sequel to Mario & Rabbids, I wouldn't mind seeing more paid DLC that adds even more content to the original, just like they did with the DKC add-on!
Why is everyone so opposed to a sequel of Mario + Rabbids? That game was awesome.
@SlyPlayr09 I like where your head is. Lol
@SlyPlayr09 i hope they never make one again, rather have an actual mario rayman crossover then anything with those abominations
I'm going to speculate for Nintendo's E3 here:
New details on LoZ La
Hands-on with Super Mario Maker 2
Pokémon Gen 8 reveal
Pikmin 4 trailer
Metroid Prime 4 trailer/development update
SSB dlc
Couple of 3rd party games/ports
LABO kit 5
Switch Mini
Switch Pro
And perhaps a new game we haven't heard about yet.
...Zelda + Rabbids Kingdom Battle anyone?
@Yasume I for one would be happy if they announced a sequel, my problem is “journalists” telling people to expect one at E3 for absolutely no reason.
Would love to see something like: Mario + Rabbids Party ..
Let them make a full Nintendo IP game! Donkey Kong, F Zero, whatever.
Or I'll settle for a new Rayman 3D title in the Legends style.
I’m not really sure. Is Ubisoft the conpany that we hate (because of wiiu) or do we love them?
Difficult company when you like Nintendo.
I'm interested in seeing what else they have for Switch.
They may be rather crappy towards Xbone and PS4, but for Switch they've gotten a good amount of my money and I have no regrets. I might even pick uo Trials Rising someday.
I for one love Ubisoft's quirky approach to E3. They have an unusually strong relationship with Nintendo as we've seen with Mario + Rabbids and Starlink, so I'll definitely tune in to their conference to see what they reveal.
@HarryHyruleHero
This is a Ubisoft article, but I'll bite:
I firmly believe Metroid Prime 4 will go dark for at least a year, maybe two, before showing any progress. Nintendo just restarted development from scratch. I would be shocked if they had any assets rendered and ready to present at this point.
Probably more details on Link's Awakening and Pokemon, but also Astral Chain. Another exclusive Platinum Games title is a scoop for Nintendo, so you can bet they'll market it to the fullest. Maybe we'll even see a Persona 5 surprise reveal at E3. Nintendo prefers handling big announcements on their own terms, so I have a feeling we still won't see any announcement at the April fest.
I just want Watch_Dogs 3 from Ubisoft! Can we get a Watch_Dogs 3 Ubisoft??? It's time.
Really hope the trend of Ubisoft developed Nintendo crossovers continues. Mario+Rabbids 2 would be awesome, the possibilities are nearly endless.
@Ulysses
Yes, it's Unisoft, I can't find any more Nintendo E3 articles. I'm more wishful thinking than speculating with Metroid Prime 4. I forgot about Astral Chain though.
@AlexSora89 True, I think it would be something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5_aRsGiHwo
@ClassSonicSatAm
What about SEGA's own Hell Yeah?
@HarryHyruleHero
Apologies for any possible sternness on my part, but to be fair, you did literally say "I'm going to speculate."
@AlexSora89 That's true!
@ClassSonicSatAm
And lo and behold... things actually happen, sometimes. What are the odds?!
