Rainbow Six Extraction — the latest game in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six franchise — is a multiplayer tactical shooter from Ubisoft that released Thursday, hitting the shelves more than six years after its popular predecessor, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. The game was set to release last year but saw a few delays due to the coronavirus-induced pandemic. Rainbow Six Extraction builds up (an alternate) story — but is a spin-off of its predecessor — where players handle 18 operators to fight off the Chimera parasite and the various kinds of alien creatures referred to in game as Archæans.
Set in three cities, Rainbow Six Extraction is solely a PvE co-op tactical shooter from Ubisoft. The game will be available on Ubisoft, Epic Games, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Stadia. As mentioned, the new game is a spin-off of Rainbow Six Siege and uses many of its elements, the most prominent of which are the dozen and a half operators.
