'Marvel's Avengers' to get 'War For Wakanda' expansion this August

Square Enix gave us the first proper look at a new Marvel character coming to Marvel's Avengers during its E3 Showcase. The King of Wakanda, a.k.a. the Black Panther, will join the game in a new War For Wakanda expansion. The trailer shows Black Panther defending Wakanda from Klaw, who has infiltrated his kingdom to steal Vibranium. 

War For Wakanda is scheduled for an August release. It was initially supposed to launch earlier, but the release was reportedly pushed back due to the sudden passing of Chadwick Boseman. He played the superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. For those who own Marvel's Avengers, you'll get the expansion for free. It'll come to the PC, Playstation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.

Ubisoft unveils new trailer for 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction'

During the first day of E3 2021's virtual event, Ubisoft showed off its new Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six game. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction takes place within three different locations in North America. You're still battling against alien hosts called Archæans that continue to evolve in the containment zones. You're on a mission to combat these creatures while rescuing one of your own, thus the name of this game.

Its gameplay mechanics are similar to Rainbow Six Siege, and you can gain access to weapon and ability upgrades to confront the Archæans along the way. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction will launch on September 16, 2021, on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, PC, and Google Stadia.

Ubisoft will release 'Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora' in 2022

We finally have a tentative timeline for the upcoming Avatar game from Ubisoft. The publisher announced that Massive Entertainment's Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora will be released in 2022 on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/s, Luna, PC, and Stadia. As you might have noticed, it won't be available on last-gen consoles. It will take advantage of Ubisoft's newest Snowdrop engine, which should offer the game more visual detail that befits James Cameron's CG world, as Engadget pointed out. It'll come out in the same year the delayed Avatar sequels will come out, so there's much to be excited about in this made-up world.

You will play as Na'vi as you travel across the "never-before-seen" Western Frontier of Pandora, where you will face the planet's wildlife and human RDA forces that want to exploit that world.

Google has announced that its Chrome OS platform will follow its browser's footsteps with a four-week update cycle. The new schedule will begin in the third quarter of the year. To sync the OS and browser schedules, Google will skip the M95 release for Chrome OS.

For enterprise and education users who don't want to follow or can't keep up with this faster update cycle, Google will introduce a new channel with a more manageable six-month schedule by the time M96 is ready. The company will announce more details soon.
