ORIGINAL STORY 28/03/23: Ubisoft has U-turned on its earlier decision to attend this year’s E3 and will now hold its own separate event on 12th June.
The publisher initially announced its intention to attend E3’s 2023 live show – which is being organised by Eurogamer parent company ReedPop for the first time this year – back in February, insisting it would bring a “strong line-up” of titles to the Los Angeles event.
