Ubisoft unveils new trailer for 'Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction'

During the first day of E3 2021's virtual event, Ubisoft showed off its new Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six game. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction takes place within three different locations in North America. You're still battling against alien hosts called Archæans that continue to evolve in the containment zones. You're on a mission to combat these creatures while rescuing one of your own, thus the name of this game.

Its gameplay mechanics are similar to Rainbow Six Siege, and you can gain access to weapon and ability upgrades to confront the Archæans along the way. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Extraction will launch on September 16, 2021, on the PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X/S, PC, and Google Stadia.
