Ubisoft Forward June 2021: When it airs, how to watch, and what to expect

With the recent reveal of Far Cry 6‘s release date, as well as details about the game, Ubisoft has already played one of its big cards before its E3 2021 event, Ubisoft Forward. Despite that, the publisher seemingly has more to show off, with a new stream set for this weekend.

While Ubisoft hinted via its Forward schedule that some surprise announcements are in store, a few big titles are already set to appear, including world premiere trailer footage of the freshly renamed Rainbow Six Extraction. Here’s how to watch the show, which kicks off E3 today, and what we know will (and won’t) be at it.

Ubisoft Forward: Official Livestream - June 2021 | #UbiForward | Ubisoft [NA]

The forward will only be officially streamed on Ubisoft’s website at Ubisoft.com/Forward. No other streaming sites such as YouTube or Twitch have been mentioned by Ubisoft, but a reference to Twitch Drops being offered during the show may mean there will be a stream there as well.

What will be shown at Ubisoft Forward?

Many games are confirmed to appear on the stream. While there are some “big” unnamed surprises in store, Ubisoft confirmed updates for live titles such as For Honor, Trackmania, The Crew 2, Brawlhalla, Watch Dogs: LegionAssassin’s Creed Valhalla, and Rainbow Six Siege.

There will also be world premiere gameplay of Rainbow Six Extraction and more Far Cry 6 coverage. Ubisoft’s new massive multiplayer open-world extreme sports title, Riders Republic, will also appear. Nintendo leaked Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope ahead of the show as well, which is likely to debut there.

Viewers can expect updates on Ubisoft’s Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest, its film Werewolves Within, and other surprises for the streaming service.

The post-show will featurs the Rainbow Six Siege community team discussing the game’s top issues and developer talk on the Operator roster’s latest addition, Operation North Star’s Thunderbird. There are also reveals in store, including streamer charms, a community artist bundle, and Sixth Guardian Charity bundle partnerships.

What won’t be shown at Ubisoft Forward

Fans hungry for more of The Division will be upset to hear that it won’t appear at the event. It’s been confirmed via Twitter that the game is still set for a year-end release but there are no updates to share. The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake is also confirmed to not have any presence at Ubisoft’s conference. It is unknown if more Beyond Good and Evil 2 news could be one of the teased surprises, but don’t expect it to show up.

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: release date window, trailers, gameplay, and more

Grab your fedora, whip, and pistol because Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is plotting a course to consoles soon. After being announced via a small teaser in 2021, we're now finally starting to put the pieces together on the mystery that is this new title from MachineGames. While many very popular and successful games have been inspired by the Indiana Jones film franchise, including Uncharted and Tomb Raider, Indy himself has yet to star in a true action-adventure game worthy of his legacy. Will this game be the one to remind audiences who the true pioneer of set-piece action and globe-trotting puzzle-solving is? Only time will tell, but we can at least guess based on all the clues we've unearthed.
Release date window
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released is scheduled for release sometime in 2024. Considering the slate of titles currently announced from first-party publishers, and how little we've seen of this game in comparison, we'd expect it to arrive in the last few months of the year. Of course, it could always slip into next year as well.
Platforms

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, coming from Xbox-owned MachineGames, will be an Xbox console exclusive, but also be available on PC.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.
