- Ubisoft Japan has canceled its Tokyo Game Show online stream due to “various circumstances.”
- The studio shared no exact reason for the cancellation, leaving many anticipated gamers confused.
- This sudden cancelation could be due to recent controversies regarding Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
Despite all the chaos surrounding Ubisoft—with its falling stocks and other recent controversies—fans have still been looking forward to its future endeavors. The best place to learn about the company’s new and currently in-development projects would have been the approaching Tokyo Game Show 2024 affair, one of the largest yearly events in gaming since the 90s.
However, Ubisoft Japan has now decided to back out of its planned TGS online stream. It abruptly announced the negative development without giving any concrete reasons for the sudden cancellation.
Why it matters: The abrupt cancellation of Ubisoft Japan’s Tokyo Game Show stream suggests that it may not have been too confident in its planned gameplay showcases.
The Ubisoft Japan Twitter handle announced the update in Japanese, which reads that it is canceling online participation in the Tokyo Game Show, which was planned to begin at 15:00 on 26 September 2024. The event has seemingly been dropped due to “various circumstances.”
In other words, we will no longer get to see an exclusive showcase of Ubisoft games, such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows and other possible projects. The exact plans for the online stream were still unknown.
The announcement continued with an apology for the short notice, with the studio also apologizing to players who were looking forward to the event.
At the moment, it is not known whether Ubisoft will do its own showcase in the following weeks to make up for this sudden cancellation of the Tokyo Game Show online stream.
All in all, some players think the studio was not too confident in the planned gameplay showcases, which led to a change of plans. On the flip side, the other group argues that the recent Assassin’s Creed Shadows controversy may also have played a role in its cancellation.
