Ubisoft has revealed more details about Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction, the upcoming first person cooperative shooter.

Extraction lets players join the REACT Team and assemble a one to three-player squad of operators from Rainbow Six Siege to confront alien creatures known as Archæans. Equipped with more than 65 weapons, ten legacy Rainbow Six Siege tech and 15 exclusive REACT tech, the operators have been adapted to best take on the alien threat. For players new to Rainbow Six, Extraction is also fully playable solo.

Players will deploy into 4 regions across the U.S., including New York, San Francisco, and two other regions, across 12 maps. Each map is roughly three times the size of previous Rainbow Six Siege maps, and contains unique dynamic modifiers. Tackle 13 different mission objectives during tactical incursions including one called the Gateway Objective, in which players must face off against a Protean, a deadly Archæan variant that has adopted the form of REACT operators and mimics their behavior.

Players can progress through custom leveling system for each of the 18 Rainbow Six operators, allowing them to advance their Operator’s gear, weapons and abilities in an entirely new way. As they level up, players will also permanently unlock new containment zones, Operators, customization items, new REACT tech, higher difficulty levels, and more.

Players who play both Rainbow Six Siege and Rainbow Six Extraction will instantly unlock Extraction’s entire roster of 18 operators in Rainbow Six Siege and will receive the elite United Front cosmetic bundles in both games. Players who pre-order Rainbow Six Extraction will receive the Orbital Decay bundle with exclusive Epic items.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction is planned for launch with full cross-play, cross-save, and cross-progression in January 2022 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Amazon Luna, Stadia, the Ubisoft Store on Windows PC and Ubisoft+, the Ubisoft subscription service.
