There were no heartfelt tears or huge crowd-pleasing surprises during the Ubisoft Forward stream today (nor was there a crowd, but that's to be expected). E3 seems to have hit at an awkward time for the publisher, catching it mostly looking backwards at games we've known about for a long time (Rainbow Six Extraction, Far Cry 6), games that have been out for years already (Rainbow Six Siege, Ghost Recon, Brawlhalla), and inevitable sequels (Just Dance, Mario + Rabbids).There just wasn't much to say “wow” about, and the one thing that was supposed to blow our socks off left my socks on—Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.

If you didn’t see the show yourself, here’s a quick rundown of what happened in a nutshell: The Watch Dogs: Legion Bloodline expansion got a trailer Rainbow Six Extraction was fully unveiled with a cinematic and gameplay The new Rocksmith looks neat A Rider’s Republic gameplay overview Rainbow Six Siege is getting crossplay, kind of Ghost Recon turns 20 Just Dance 2022 exists Another year of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC Far Cry 6 continues to show us Giancarlo Esposito Far Cry 6 DLC will let you play as the villains Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope revealed, exclusive to Switch (dang) And a “one more thing” trailer for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora It looks like a lot in list format, but I had already forgotten about half of these before I put it together.
