Update: Following the comments from Ubisoft, E3 2023 organisers Reed Pop have released the following statement: "E3 is full speed ahead and we are pleased with the progress and engagement from the community. As we have confirmed exhibitors we are eager to share more as details get cemented and participants ready their own detailed plans. In other parts of the Reed Pop gaming portfolio we rarely release participants until close to the event but now will adjust our style to the E3 way as we can."
The statement continues: "We will be sending our first round of media and content creator registration approvals today and will have news to share in the next few weeks on some of the exciting new additions to the Remastered E3 2023."
Original Story: Ubisoft will be at E3 2023 – and at the rate things are going, it may be the only one that is. Speaking during an earnings call, as watched by VGC, bigwig Yves Guillemot said the French firm has plenty to show, but did caution his company will only attend if the event actually happens. That’s an ominous statement from one of the industry’s most important executives.
Events organiser ReedPop has taken commanding control of this year’s convention, although there is strong speculation that all three platform holders will be giving the event a swing. To its credit, the PAX organisers have said that it’s received “a tremendous amount of interest [from many of] the biggest companies in the industry” – but it’s hardly going to say no one’s planning to go, is it?
Still, it looks like Ubisoft intends to be there, all being well. The show’s set to run from 13th June through 16th June, under a new format where there’ll be two days reserved exclusively for business, then two days for consumers. We suppose we should point out that ReedPop owns Gamer Network, which Push Square is a partner of.
Did we mention we love E3 2023?

Sounds like the ball is in your court, E3.
...introducing Riders republic for PSVR2
Fingers crossed.
Ubisoft one of the worst and most boring companies ever lets hope they bring something interesting for a difference.
Nice to have official confirmation that they plan on attending, assuming the convention isn't ultimately canceled.
@Gaia093 nice one
I was beginning to think E3 getting cancelled after hearing, Nintendo and xbox won't be there. Sony are never anywhere, so never expected them in the first place.
If Far Cry 2 remaster isn't there im not interested.
Well at least there is something to look forward to at E3. Surely Mirage gameplay will be shown.
Just host an Ubisoft forward on youtube and save the money Ubisoft. You can even put the money saved towards a new rayman or child of light. Just scrap whatever it is you are alleging to be beyond good and evil 2, i beg of you.
10 Assassins Creeds or games they are going to not-cancel but never release LOL.
Sounds like the BALL is Rolling
Eff Sony, we have our dancing panda locked. The show is solid!
And i couldn't care less. They have made nothing but trash for years. I am impressed they are still afloat as this becomes more and more obvious to people.
Even if they brought out beyond good and evil 2, which i doubt, i am sure it will be butchered in standard ubi soft sandbox micro transaction models.
In other news, i think it's time to accept E3 is done. It's just easier for companies to directly approach comsumers and use their own platforms to deliver acess to demos and the like. It will generate far more buzz and there is no competition to steal the thunder. Directs are the future. E3 was always more of an investor thing.
@Rob_230 There's a lot of potential here for ubi. A lot of us enthusiasts still value e3 a lot and give it a lot of attention, and sites like this know that and give it focus. If the big 3 aren't present that gives ubi a bigger center stage as the biggest, or one of the biggest showcases. Not a bad marketing expense for them to connect with the core and be the good guys that still embrace e3. And remind us they're still making the pirate game we all hated in 2017 😂
@CaptD That would actually be freaking awesome and isn't actually unrealistic!
@BeerIsAwesome To be fair, Microsoft OWNS the theater, so floor space is free for them lol.
Let E3 die the death.
I happen to like Ubisoft games so, yeah sound.
I'm happy for this. I like Ubisoft franchises, specially Assassin's Creed, so game on!
Will they use that to announce skull and bones is delayed to 2024
What a poor tagline to this article. Not a huge ubi fan, but I do believe there is merit to an in person event. Why gloat if you'd miss out on the bizarre mix of suspense and cringe.
I think they will pull out when they realise no one else os going. Just do some digital streams. We will be fine with that
"...bigwig Yves Guillemot said the French firm has plenty to show, but did caution his company will only attend if the event actually happens."
What a strange statement. Obviously a dig at E3 but when I read it I had a different impression.
Ubisoft shows up and the doors to E3 are locked. Yves is ringing the doorbell, looking inside the window to see if anyone is there and saying Bonjour louder and louder. Then shrugs his shoulders and walks away.
I have desire to watch. Ever since Sony stopped going I stopped watching.
E3 would be great if I could physically go but I can't so I'd prefer just publishers having their own shows since I can't play demos or anything
