Ubisoft has been planning Rainbow Six: Quarantine, a new co-op shooter as a spin-off to the popular tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege, for a while now. However, the upcoming shooter has a different name: it will be called Extraction, and more information will be available at E3.
What is Rainbow Six: Extraction? Originally, Rainbow Six: Quarantine was announced at E3 2019 as a co-op shooter in the R6 universe. The name has since been changed to Extraction because “quarantine” is not well-received during the times of Corona (via YouTube.com). It is based on Rainbow Six Siege, the popular tactical shooter.
Extraction is a sort of spin-off of a limited-time game mode from Siege. In March and April 2018, there was the “Outbreak” event, where players could fight against an alien parasite in a new co-op mode.
Similarly, the new standalone shooter will feature a parasite that spreads in a lab and infects everything. According to the developers, you will have various tasks, but the main goal is always: No one gets left behind.
Early gameplay leaks for Extraction have already shown various operators, i.e., playable characters, weapons, and possible modes. You apparently play in a team with different heroes and abilities to fulfill specific objectives within the time limit.
Quarantine is now called Extraction, to be presented at E3 2021
When and where will I learn more? Ubisoft will be present at E3 2021. On Saturday, June 12, 2021, starting at 9:00 PM German time, Ubisoft Forward will be happening. In our article, you can find all about the E3 stream times and how you can watch it.
The developers have already promised that the first (official) gameplay for the new shooter will be shown and that there will be a deep dive. So you can look forward to more information about Extraction.
What else will E3 show? Ubisoft will likely not only showcase Rainbow Six: Extraction but also other titles. One of the hottest current rumors is about a PvP shooter featuring Splinter Cell, Division, and Ghost Recon.
