Ubisoft Announces Lineup for PAX WEST 2017

SAN FRANCISCO — August 24, 2017 — Today, Ubisoft announced its PAX West 2017 lineup, inviting fans to take down cultists via aerial dogfights, shootouts and more in an exciting demo of Far Cry 5, at the Ubisoft booth (#605) in Seattle from September 1–4. After a tense exchange with the Project at Eden’s Gate, attendees can get a change of pace and partake in a fishing competition. Competing against eight people, the person who catches the biggest fish in the span of 10 minutes will win a special Far Cry 5 pin. Additionally, Ubisoft will be hosting a live stream from the booth on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4pm featuring gameplay from titles including Far Cry 5, Assassin’s Creed Origins, For Honor and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. The stream will be broadcast on Twitch at twitch.tv/ubisoft, on YouTube at youtube.com/ubisoftus and on Facebook at facebook.com/ubisoftus. Fans are also invited to attend panels for Far Cry 5 and For Honor on Saturday, September 2 and Monday, September 4, respectively.

Far Cry 5

September 2, 2:30–3:30 pm, Hydra Theater at the Grand Hyatt Hotel: Far Cry 5 throws players headlong into a war against the Project at Eden’s Gate, a sinister doomsday cult that has taken over idyllic Hope County, Montana. Join the resistance of Hope County as they rebel against the cult’s dark influence. Hosted by Achievement Hunter’s Jack Pattillo, the panel includes Lead Writer Drew Holmes and the talent bringing the colorful denizens of Hope County to life, Murry Peeters (Grace Armstrong), Martin Roach (Pastor Jerome Jeffries), Steve Byers (Nick Rye) and, that’s right, Boomer the dog. The panel can be watched live at twitch.tv/pax.

For Honor

September 4, 2:30 pm, Hydra Theater at the Grand Hyatt Hotel: Every week, the For Honor dev team presents a live show on twitch.tv/forhonorgame, which connects them directly with their community. Answering questions, providing news and information and oftentimes a big peek behind the curtain of the game’s continuing post-launch development, the Warrior’s Den has become an important touchpoint for transparency and information for players. Now, for the first time ever, the For Honor team will be doing the show live and in person with their community. Join Creative Director Roman Campos Oriola, Game Director Damien Kieken, Lead Designer Bio Jade Adam Granger and Community Developer Eric Pope.
