Ubisoft always puts on a great E3 press conference. Debuting new titles every year, supporting its already released ones with DLC, and saving big reveals as its "one last thing", the French company has really fine-tuned its style to a tee. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been one or two hiccups along the way. These are Ubisoft's E3 highs and lows.

South Park: The Fractured But Whole brings the comedy

A sequel to South Park: The Stick of Truth was never quite set in stone, but any fears were thankfully put to rest at E3 2015 when South Park: The Fractured But Whole debuted to a chorus of laughs thanks to that name alone. South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone then took to the Ubisoft stage to discuss the game further and how the super hero aspect changes things up.

Things get awkward with Assassin's Creed Syndicate cosplayer

This could be one of the most awkward moments at an E3 press conference ever. As part of the Assassin's Creed Syndicate segment, Aisha Tyler jumped into the crowd to start interviewing this poor cosplayer who clearly didn't want to be a part of it. As she begins to start pitching memes, the interaction only gets worse and worse. Please Ubisoft, never ever do anything like this ever again.

Beyond Good & Evil 2 reveals itself

It was thought that Beyond Good & Evil 2 was all but dead, until it made an unexpected return at last year's E3. Ubisoft's "one last thing" announcement once again delivered with a four minute cinematic trailer for the sequel that proves you should never let your gaming dreams die.

An emotional thank you from Yves Guillemot

Despite having a great showing at E3 2017, there was a very real threat hanging over the heads of Ubisoft in the form of a hostile takeover from Vivendi. Those threats have now waned, but at the time, it only seemed like a matter of time before it happened. As such, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot took to the stage at the end of the presser, asking all the developers present to get up on stage as he thanked the audience and viewers worldwide for playing Ubisoft games. A heart touching moment that shows the company is made up of real people.

Rainbow Six: Siege impresses with destruction and tactics

Yet another closing show announcement that was immensely impressive. Rainbow Six: Siege debuted with a full gameplay sequence that showed off its destruction and tactical approach to the first-person shooter. The game has now gone on to be one of Ubisoft's best supported games through constant updates and a whole host of DLC.
