In previous years, Ubisoft held an annual press conference at E3 2020. But since the event was entirely scrapped due to the coronavirus, the company shifted plans to an online presentation instead. The broadcast, known as Ubisoft Forward, kicks off today at 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET / 8 PM in the UK / 9 PM in Europe. Some sort of pre-show should also be starting soon.
Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed all of the games that will be shown, so it’s unclear how much of the showcase will be relevant to Switch owners. Games like Gods & Monsters, Roller Champions, and Just Dance are possibilities.
You can watch Ubisoft Forward as it happens below. We’ll be reporting on any notable Nintendo-related news throughout the event.

Suda51 made a cameo appearance during today’s Devolver Direct 2020 stream. It wasn’t until the credits that he showed up, and he was only on screen for a couple of seconds. In that brief time though, viewers were shown another look at No More Heroes 3. We have a snapshot from the credits above.
Something similar was done during New Game+ Expo. Suda51 teased fans with gameplay, but covered up much of the screen.
