Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is being developed by an entirely new team at Ubisoft Montreal, who were inspired by the long-standing brand legacy of tactical co-op shooters and the varied cast of operators from Rainbow Six Siege, to develop something that is truly more than the sum of its parts.

The Rainbow operators face off against a totally new breed of mutated alien parasite. Infecting human hosts and their surroundings, this new enemy is more lethal and challenging than ever before.

Prepare to launch into tense, chaotic and totally unpredictable missions as you and your squad risk everything every time you step into Quarantine.

Formerly titled Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Quarantine, Rainbow Six Extraction is being led by a seasoned team of veterans at Ubisoft Montreal. 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.

Pulse Operator

Perform a sweep with Pulse's HB-7 Cardiac Sensor to locate parasite nests and hot zones, even through walls. When upgraded, squadmates within range of the sensor will move faster! In Rainbow Six Extraction, you can advance your Operator's gear, weaponry, and unique ability in entirely new ways.

Cross-Play and Cross-Progression

Rainbow Six Extraction launches with full Cross-Play and Cross-Progression support for anyone playing on the PlayStation, Xbox, Stadia, or the PC Platform.

This means that regardless of where you choose to play, you will be able to squad up your friends or matchmake with others on any of the platforms that you can play Rainbow Six Extraction on.

You have complete control over how you play Rainbow Six Extraction, so, if you prefer, you can also turn off the Cross-Play functionality to only play with people on your platform.

Another feature we support that should help you when deciding where you play is Cross-Progression.

Your progression in the game and the content you earn through that progression will travel with you if you decide to start playing on a different platform. If you start your experience by playing on PC but want to switch over to the PS5 don’t worry, you’re covered. When launching the game, you will find your Operators, your progression, your content all ready and waiting for you.

It’s important to note, that the only aspect of your progression that won’t follow you across platforms are your Achievements/Trophies.

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 play both Rainbow Six Siege and Rainbow Six Extraction will instantly unlock Extraction’s entire roster of 18 operators in Rainbow Six Siege and will receive the elite United Front cosmetic bundles in both games, a value of approximately $40. The Standard Edition and Deluxe Edition of Rainbow Six Extraction are available for pre-order now. Players who pre-order Rainbow Six Extraction will receive the Orbital Decay bundle with exclusive Epic items including the Orion uniform and headgear for Finka and Lion, the universal Vaporized weapon skin and the Crashlander charm. Rainbow Six Extraction will also include live service support with regular content updates.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, and PC (Ubisoft Store and the Epic Games Store) as well as Ubisoft+ on January 2022.
