Rainbow Six Extraction

Rainbow Six Extraction, first and foremost, is an extension of a well-established IP. Following early disappointment and massive amounts of developer support, Rainbow Six Siege — the series' online-only reboot launched in 2015 — has outlived all of Ubisoft's expectations and become a multi-year ongoing game (dubbed games-as-a-service in industry parlance). As of two Decembers ago after launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, Rainbow Six Siege registered 70 million players across all platforms. On one hand, that's why there hasn't been a new Rainbow Six game for over six years now. On the other hand, a new title (that appealed to a different gamer market) has seemed inevitable. And that's what we get with Rainbow Six Extraction, out Thursday globally.
