Formerly titled Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine, Rainbow Six Extraction is
being led by a seasoned team of veterans at Ubisoft Montreal.** Inspired by the
long-standing legacy of co-op Rainbow Six shooters, Rainbow Six Extraction is a
brand new tactical co-op PvE experience bringing operators together to fight
against a mysterious threat.
Three years ago, in the quaint town of Truth and Consequences, a meteor
crashed down on a New Mexico community, releasing an unknown parasite. A handful
of operators from Rainbow Six Siege seemingly contained the initial outbreak –
until the Chimera parasite reappeared in multiple sites across the U.S.,
deadlier than ever. To take on this threat, the Rainbow Exogenous Analysis &
Containment Team (REACT), a highly specialized and outfitted organization was
formed by Eliza “Ash” Cohen, Dr. Elena “Mira” Álvarez, and Jordan “Thermite”
Trace.
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.
Choose from 18 Rainbow Six operators, each equipped with specialized REACT gear,
weapons, gadgets, and abilities to learn and master, lending to highly
replayable and immersive gameplay. The uniqueness and different playstyle of
each operator allows for limitless options in customizing a roster; striking the
right balance on each REACT squad will be the key to success. Deploying into
unpredictable containment zones with strategic loadouts will be integral to
gathering the intel needed to stop the alien threat.
Set in four regions across the U.S., containment zones are aggressively
dominated by the parasite, creating an evolving and unstable ecosystem within
their walls. With a selection of 12 uniquely designed maps featuring plenty of
challenges, infestations, and enemies who increase in difficulty, the dangers
are constantly evolving. The deeper players go into each map, the richer the
rewards, but greater the risks their squad will face.
Players who own and play both Rainbow Six Siege and Rainbow Six Extraction will
instantly unlock the entire roster of 18 operators in Rainbow Six Siege, and
players will receive the elite United Front cosmetic bundles in both games.***
