Today’s announcements included:
Ubisoft has decided against holding a press conference at this year’s Gamescom. However, the company will still be very much at the expo with plenty of games on display. Attendees can probably expect titles such as Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, and Assassin’s Creed IV to be playable.
