There's also some new Rainbow Six Extraction screenshots to check out.

Console players will have to wait a little longer, until early 2022, but support for both cross-platform features is coming.

Far Cry 6 Season Pass & Antón cinematic trailers

Far Cry 6 surprised no one by making an appearance during Ubisoft Forward at E3 2021, but it did raise eyebrows with its eye-catching duo of trailers. Most notably, the Far Cry 6 Season Pass trailer reveals an expansion that will allow you to play as the villains from three previois Far Cry games: Vaas from Far Cry 3, Pagin Min from Far Cry 4, and Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5. There's also a teaser for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon at the end of the trailer, which is incredibly exciting.

The second Far Cry 6 trailer from Ubisoft Forward at E3 2021 gives us a closer look at Antón, the charismatic villain that headlines Far Cry 6. If you want to learn more about the villain you'll face in Far Cry 6 and their son, this is the trailer for you.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope reveal & gameplay

Ubisoft Forward at E3 2021 pushed ahead with its original plan to reveal Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, despite the leak and subsequent announcement from Nintendo earlier today. Despite the prior leak, Ubisoft Forward impressed with two separate trailers for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, with a cinematic reveal trailer setting the stage for the next entry in this quirky franchise.

Alongside the cinematic reveal trailer, we also get a sneak peek at the gameplay in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. While there's not a ton of gameplay to get excited about here, it's still a great first look before we learn more about the game later on.

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora

Ubisoft Forward at E3 2021 finally gave us our first official look at Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, the long-rumored game built in collaboration with Disney. Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora is set to come to Xbox Series X|S, PS5, PC, Stadia, and Amazon Luna sometime in 2022 as an open-world adventure game built on the latest Snowdrop engine. The new trailer looks amazing, but we didn't get to see any gameplay this time around.
