Another year, another Ubisoft Forward conference! The French publisher and developer kept things short and sweet this year, saving its biggest gun for last while providing plenty of updates for many of its other games. No, there wasn't a Splinter Cell reveal. Sorry guys. But there was plenty of other stuff!
Ubisoft continues its attempt to salvage a game that no-one particularly wanted in the first place.

Ubisoft has promised a fix for those legitimate criticisms, one that was expected by the end of February but it looks like this new immersive mode is taking a little longer to be perfectly cooked.
