Ubisoft has finally given its new Rainbow Six a specific release date and has also announced a feature that co-op buddies should be quite happy about.
Ubisoft announced today that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction will be released on January 20, 2022 and will offer a Crossplay Buddy Pass system that allows up to two friends to play for free. The game will also be released with crossplay, cross-save and crossplay progress on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Stadia and Windows PC in the Ubisoft Store. Starting today, the standard edition can be pre-ordered at a new, reduced price starting at $ 39.99.
Each edition unlocks two Buddy Pass tokens that allow you to invite your friends and play with them for up to 14 days on most platforms for free. During these two weeks, all progress made by group members when purchasing the full version will be carried over. All pre-orders also unlock the “Orbital Decay” cosmetic package in Extraction. The Deluxe Edition, which contains three bonus packages, can also be pre-ordered now from $ 49.99. Players who own both Rainbow Six Siege and Rainbow Six Extraction will immediately unlock the 18 Extraction Operators in Rainbow Six Siege and receive United Front’s elite cosmetic packages in both games.
Rainbow Six Extraction offers, among other things, an extensive progress system for the operators, four different levels of difficulty, 12 brand new and unpredictable maps (almost three times the size of the well-known maps from Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege) spread over four dynamic regions, over 60 weapons, well-known Equipment from Rainbow Six Siege and 15 exclusive REACT gadgets. Extraction also receives extensive and free post-launch support, including an endgame mode that will offer new challenges every week.
