Ubisoft is one of the many video game companies that will be present during this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo aka E3, which is going to be held from June 14 to June 16. The Ubisoft celebrations will start a day before.

According to Ubisoft, the June 13 event will begin at 1 p.m. PST with a pre-show event starting 30 minutes prior. The event will be hosted by Aisha Tyler, who will be in for her fifth year in a row as Ubisoft's official host. Fans who cannot attend will be able to watch a live stream via Ubisoft's YouTube, Facebook and Twitch channels.

This will continue with the official E3 event for the following three days and once again fans who cannot attend can still watch Ubisoft's presentation via Twitch.

Games confirmed for the E3 include the medieval hack-and-slash game "For Honor," the comedy-RPG "South Park: The Fractured But Whole," "Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands" and the VR video game "Eagle Flight."

However, the biggest game that Ubisoft has confirmed to make an appearance at E3 is "Watch Dogs 2," the follow-up to the 2014 original. The game is currently scheduled for release sometime in 2017 and rumors indicate that the game will be set in a futuristic San Francisco and not the first games' version of Chicago.

A brand-new IP is also listed as well as a DLC for "The Division." Unfortunately there are no other indications to suggest what kind of game the new IP is going to be although there are rumors from fans hinting that it may be another open-world third-person action game.

Ubisoft also confirmed that the Ubisoft Lounge will be returning at this year's E3, allowing fans to play games and communicate directly with the developers.
