This beta is supposed to expand the amount of content players can test out, featuring the Clubhouse map found in Seige. Other notable locations include Bank and Border, giving people opportunities to play in close quarters and more open areas.

Rainbow Six Mobile does not have a release date, but when it launches it will be free-to-play on Android and iOS devices. The company also revealed during the showcase that The Division Resurgence will be holding a closed beta this fall, though exact dates were not provided. Elsewhere it was revealed that Ubisoft is working on multiple Assassin’s Creed games including Mirage, Codename Hexe, and Codename Red. The latter two will take place during the witch trials of the Holy Roman Empire and feudal Japan, respectively.
