Ubisoft Forward: here’s where to watch tonight’s stream

Far Cry 6

Ubisoft Forward is today’s primary E3 stream, hosted by global gaming giant Ubisoft.

The publisher and developer will inevitably have a lot to show at its conference, including information on the upcoming open-world FPS Far Cry 6, co-op shooter Rainbow Six Extraction, and Watch Dogs: Legion‘s upcoming Bloodline DLC.

Ubisoft Forward will begin on June 12 at 7pm BST for the pre-show, and 8pm BST for the main show. You’ll be able to tune ino on YouTube, Twitch, or via Ubisoft’s own website.

Information on Year 5 Season two of samurai versus knight versus viking brawler For Honor will feature, as well updates on Trackmania, The Crew 2 and Brawlhalla.

Earlier today (June 12) Nintendo posted up a full listing for Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope, undercutting the suspected announcement tonight.

Earlier in the month a new competitive PvP game called The Division: Battlecat was rumoured to have been tested in January 2020. It supposedly combines Tom Clancy’s The Division with Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell, and further details may be revealed tonight.

Updates for The Division won’t feature at the press conference however, as the official Division team revealed that new content for The Division 2 and Heartland would be revealed later in the year, due to a change in plans thanks to remote working.

The team behind Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake also conveyed a similar message, with the dev team announcing that they were “making great progress” on the reboot, but that they are currently “not ready to share any additional information just yet”.

Other long term Ubisoft titles like Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and Riders Republic 2 may make an appearance, and this may be the first time we see any information about Ubisoft and Lucasfilm Games upcoming open-world Star Wars adventure.

‘Far Cry 6’ will have third-person perspective sections and be political
The story of the ‘Far Cry’ series is a bit of a strange one, and while it’s always been a first-person shooter, the first game in the series really was different to how the game is nowadays. But don’t think back too hard on the early days of the series, or you’ll end up remembering how ‘Far Cry 2’ had a mechanic whereby you had to get malaria injections every now and then to keep going. But ‘Far Cry 6’ looks more like the games in the series that made it hugely popular. A very strong narrative direction with stand-out characters. This time Ubisoft has even drafted in famed actor Giancarlo Esposito for a leading role, known for playing characters in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul to name but a few. That doesn’t mean it’s sticking to the mould entirely, though.

In other E3 news, FromSoftware‘s long anticipated Elden Ring got its first gameplay trailer during Geoff Keighley’s Summer Game Fest.

The in-engine trailer also shows the ability to ride horses and engage in mounted combat, a first for FromSoftware’s Souls and Souls-like games.
