After being in the dark since its announcement in 2019, Ubisoft’s next Rainbow Six title has finally been more fully fleshed out. That came by way of the company’s E3 2021 kickoff today, and included a new trailer.

Before you check it out though, be forewarned that Rainbow Six Extraction bears title resemblance to the Six that you know. Whether or not that’s a welcome thing, is up to you.

As the threat grows, our Operators rise to meet it. In Extraction, Rainbow Six has been united under REACT. Their mission: learn about the enemy, stop its spread at all costs… and leave no one behind.

Nevertheless, Extraction could be just the ticket to get some new fans on board for the R6 franchise. And if you are a longtime player, no worries, since it appears that Siege doesn’t appear to be going anywhere.

As for Extraction though, you can expect to be battling hostile invaders this September the 16th. Look for Rainbow Six Extraction on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Stadia, and PC.
