More On: E3 2021 Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction

At today's E3 Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction - the latest mainline release in the much-loved franchise - would release on September 16, 2021 with full cross-play, cross-save, and cross-progression.

Formerly titled Quarantine, Extraction takes place in a small New Mexico community where an meteor has crashed to the ground, bringing with it an unknown parasite. So you know what that means...aliens are on the loose, and it's up to beloved Rainbow Six operatives to stop them. 

"In Extraction, players will join the REACT Team and assemble a one to three-player squad of well-known and beloved operators from Rainbow Six Siege to confront mysterious alien creatures known as the Archæans. After completing each objective, players must make a difficult choice: extract and collect their rewards or push deeper to face tougher enemies and earn greater rewards in a chaotic and intense experience. This gamble could mean temporarily losing one of their operators who are caught Missing in Action (MIA) within the containment zone. To recover an MIA operator, players must squad up and risk it all in a rescue mission."

Rainbow Six Extraction is now available for pre-order. The game will release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Amazon Luna, Stadia, the Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store on Windows PC as well as Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service. So, all the things.
