On July 12 Ubisoft hosted the Ubisoft Forward digital event as replacement for the cancelled E3. Headlining the barrage of announcements were Far Cry 6 and Assassin’s Creed.
Although fans were looking forward to the newest announcements for their favorite games, the event was overshadowed by the recent scandals of “toxic behaviour” and sexual harrasment involving Ubisoft’s upper management.
As Ubisoft Forward was a pre-recorded event the company did not release any statement acknowledging the current situation.

The biggest reveal during Ubisoft Forward was a new Far Cry. The sixth installment of the popular series will take place on the island Yara with Anton Castillo as main antagonist. Castillo will be portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito, who is probably most famous for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
Far Cry 6 will be released on February 18 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC and also on the streaming service Google Stadia.
