The launch of Rainbow Six Extraction fast approaching, so Ubisoft goes all out to promote it. Last week, we are thus entitled to a trailer dedicated to the lore of the game, which will oppose the Officers from REACT already present in Seat to Archeans, enemies born from the alien parasite Chimera, with some gameplay showing us how to eliminate some of them. From now on, it’s activity’s turn end game to be presented, the Maelstrom Protocol, which should keep community players busy every week once they get through the core content.
Clearly presented as an extreme ranked mode designed for the challenge, the Maelstrom Protocol will change every week and will offer to start a level with not three objectives to fulfill, but nine, always with a gradual difficulty between each ! Yes, we can already imagine the hassle to overcome it. Obviously, the players will be rewarded as it should be with great blows ofXP, credits REACT to spend in the shop in-game and seasonal equipment to personalize the Officers, reflecting progression with a rank (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum and Diamond), and there will always be the possibility of being extracted.
To go into a little more detail, each objective will see a new mutation appear in our enemies, while the supply crates will become scarce once three of them have been completed. And as if that weren’t enough, the time granted will also decrease… Finally, only 6 of 18 Officers will be accessible in this mode each time, and if one of them is missing, you will have to go to the base game to rescue him. But contrary to the surprise usually present at each run, the level and its objectives will remain fixed for the week, thus giving pride of place to the implementation of tactics to overcome it.
By the way, you can find below a trailer CGI presenting the Team Rainbow, in which Ela, Lion and Vigil come to rescue Sledge in a much more oppressive atmosphere than what we felt while playing.
Post-launch content completely free had also been discussed in another video, with in addition to the Maelstrom Protocol, from Crisis events limited time, which will each time offer a thematic mode, from lore and choose one protein new to eliminate (the equivalent of our characters on the Archean) or one Agent integrating the roster, of which Zofia. new technologies REACT and cosmetic elements can also be obtained in this way. The first event of its kind will be called spillover and will aim to stop theEmergence as hordes of enemies attack. Finally, the Assignments will be weekly game modes varying over time, including Veteran where HUD will be disabled, unlike friendly fire, and ammunition even more limited than it already is… The other modes revealed are called Kick in the anthill (a little long, right?), where you have to survive in barricaded areas full of enemies, and Back against the wall, it will be necessary to go from airlock to airlock while being constantly attacked by Archeans.
And to finish, another video used to discover the game had been broadcast to detail the missions, maps and difficulty.
Rainbow Six Extraction will be available on January 20 on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC and Stadia in France. You can pre-order your copy at Amazon at the price of €59.99 in edition Deluxe.
