Ubisoft revealed last week that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction has been delayed to January 2022. The developers haven’t shared many details regarding this delay, but it’s not a stretch to think the COVID-19 pandemic had a hand in it, as teams have been forced to work from home, disrupting the normal development pipelines.

Our ambition with Rainbow Six Extraction is to deliver a full-fledged AAA experience that changes the way you play and think about cooperative games. With unique features like Missing In Action or The Sprawl, every mission is set to be a tense and challenging experience in which you’ll lead the elite operators of Rainbow Six in a fight against a lethal and evolving alien threat.

We are embracing the opportunity to take additional time to bring this vision to life in the way it deserves in January 2022. We are confident this will ensure Rainbow Six Extraction is the immersive, cooperative, and thrilling experience we set out to create, and the one you aspire to play.

We look forward to sharing more with you very soon!
