After a lot of speculation, Ubisoft announced today that the official title of the game previously known as Rainbow Six Quarantine will be Rainbow Six Extraction.

The reason for the change is pretty obvious, seeing as the game was originally announced at E3 2019, way before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the global population to endure long quarantine periods in the past year and a half. During this time, the core of Rainbow Six Extraction has evolved, according to the developers.

Producer Antoine Vimal du Monteil said:

Creative Director Patrik Methé added:

A cooperative focused spin-off of Rainbow Six Siege that originated from the limited time alien-themed Outbreak event, Rainbow Six Extraction is expected to be released later this year. Stay tuned on Wccftech for more information on the game, which will be shared during Ubisoft Forward (June 12th, 8 PM BST).

It will be up to you and your squad to decide when to push forward or when to extract. As you will soon discover, extraction is truly the name of the game.
