It takes players to France a few years after the main game's events.During the livestream, Ubisoft revealed the expansion will see the return of black box-style missions.

Three years ago, an alien parasite invaded the world of Rainbow Six Siege, leading to a limited-time event in which players fought off humans turned into rampaging extraterrestrial creatures. Rainbow Six Extraction fleshes out that idea with its own full-fledged multiplayer title, in which you and up to two other teammates venture into alien-infested facilities. As a cooperative shooter, Extraction is a change of pace from the competitive multiplayer of Siege, offering a fascinating, different take on a lot of Siege's ideas.We recently played about two hours of Rainbow Six Extraction, exploring a facility set in Alaska that the alien parasite has overtaken. Each match, or "incursion," in Extraction sees up to three operator characters, brought over from Siege, heading into an alien-infested location to complete a variety of randomly assigned objectives. These objectives are almost all about gathering intel on the alien threat--doing things like collecting samples, capturing the twisted humans-turned-ETs called Archaeans, rescuing VIPs, and finding information on computers. The Extraction name comes from the main thrust of each of these activities, because it's not enough to go in and grab what you need, you also have to get out alive with the goods.Extraction's sessions are made up of three interconnected sub-maps, with one objective on each one, and a 15-minute timer to go with each section. The best way to handle these objectives is to stealthily search the map, taking out enemies and avoiding conflicts to keep a low profile. Though Extraction feels a bit like Siege's take on a "zombie mode," it's not about gunning down waves of enemies. Instead, it's more of a careful jaunt behind enemy lines, with an emphasis on completing the mission and getting out alive.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Ubisoft closed out its Ubisoft Forward E3 2021 presentation with a look at its Avatar game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. Based on the James Cameron film franchise that still only consists of a single released movie after 11 years, the game is built on Ubisoft's Snowdrop engine and is slated to release sometime in 2022.Frontiers of Pandora is a first-person action-adventure game developed in collaboration with Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney. Billed as a standalone story, the game puts you in the role of a Navi and sends you on a journey across the Western Frontier, a "never-before-seen" portion of the planet Pandora. The Snowdrop engine is also used for The Division games, so it has precedent in open-world design, though this still seems like a... far cry from some Massive's previous games.Details about Frontiers of Pandora are scant beyond that, but Ubisoft says the game will feature "a living and reactive world inhabited by unique creatures and new characters." The goal of your adventure is to drive back the militaristic RDA forces, which are threatening the planet. You can check out the reveal trailer above.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
