Rainbow Six Extraction is also coming to like…everything ever
Today during their “Ubisoft Forward” E3 stream, we got a taste of what’s to come forRainbow Six Extraction,formerly known asQuarantine.
Based on the trailerRainbow Six Extractionis going fullLeft 4 Deadcreatures, with enemies (known as “Archaeans”) that have the classic exploding backs, as well as alpha-style elites that are a tad more formidable. There’s a focus on stealth, as you take out Archaeans and destroy nests. In other words, it’s extremely similar to classicRainbow Six“breach and clear” tactical combat.
Rainbow Six Extractionalso has a progress-loss mechanic, which Ubisoft is calling “risk reward,” on top of three player co-op. As our own Eric Van Allen pointed out this looks very similar both in terms of mechanics and aesthetics to some existing games,most notablyGTFO. I think some of us were expecting a little more “zazz,” especially from the conference that is essentially kicking off E3. Still, I’m ready to give it a shot.
It’s out on September 14 on PC, Stadia, Luna, Ubisoft+, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5.Cross-Play is confirmedas areSiegeunlocks. September is soon enough and you know, it being out on everything is nice; and the support for Luna and Stadia is not surprising given Ubisoft’s recent track record. We can expect a decent number of AAA releases from the publisher to focus on cloud gaming going forward.
