Ubisoft’s Gamescom 2024 line-up will give players the chance to get hands-on with Star Wars Outlaws, in addition for the chance for players to get an in-depth look at Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ gameplay.

In the case of Star Wars Outlaws, the title will be playable at 100 stations at Ubisoft’s stand in Hall 6.1 in Koelnmesse. Note that wheelchair-accessible play stations will be available, along with the option to use Xbox Adaptive Controllers. 

In addition, up to 400 visitors will also be able to view developer-led presentations of Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ gameplay, featuring a live demonstration of Yasuke and Naoe’s distinct play styles.

On August 23, Rainbow Six Siege fans will be able to attend European R6 Combine Finale at the Xperion gaming space, located across the Rhine from Koelnmesse. During the event, Europe’s best two Rainbow Six Siege teams will compete live for a €20,000 prize. 

XDefiant players will also be able to compete to prove their skills in an on-site arena.

Also slated is an #AssassinsCreedCosplayContest.

Photographer eosAndy will be on site, and Assassin’s Creed cosplayers will be able to submit photos for a chance at prizes like a PlayStation 5 console and a Collector’s Edition of Assassin’s Creed Shadows. Those interested can learn more via the official Assassin’s Creed website.
