2. Ubisoft Is Still Supporting Steep

Remember Steep? The game was introduced at last year's E3 and was positioned to renew interest in the extreme sports gaming genre. Fans of the SSX games were surely hyped, but the end result received mediocre reviews and pretty much came and went without much fanfare at all.

Nevertheless, Ubisoft devoted several minutes of their barely hour-long 2017 conference to revealing that the game would be receiving an expansion, Road to the Olympics, due for release on December 5th.

The DLC will take place in South Korea and Japan to commemorate the upcoming 2018 Winter Olympics and add downhill skiing to the game. Good for Steep fans, wherever they are, but did this really need to be announced at E3, and so damn early, too?
