a new gameplay video finally shows its flagship mission

For several weeks now, Ubisoft Montreal has been pounding us again and again: The new work of its flagship multiplayer franchise should revolve around extractions. Understand that you are about to snatch an unfortunate comrade captured in battle from the clutches of an enemy parasite. And if Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction However, this month of June was not stingy with pictures, the eponymous mechanism had not yet pointed the tip of the nose. It has been ready since yesterday, thanks to the demonstration that the studio made in the company of Streamer King George and NarcolepticNugget, great regulars from Rainbow Six Siege.

Action and infiltration, the eternal mixture

The video first makes it possible to confirm the presence of certain operators that we saw a few days ago, such as Vigil and Pulse. But most of all, it emphasizes the goals that every attack imposes on players.

Some of these missions will ask you to clear an area or retrieve samples of the famous parasite in enemy territory, while others will aim to hunt down a specific enemy.

. In the latter case too, the target will generally be very tough and consist of some kind of boss who, as it should be, will be accompanied by a few waves of minions. To top everything There may be times when some of these goals need to be achieved within a certain period of time. As always in the games of the Tom Clancy universe, the action, infiltration and timing will be elements to be juggled here. Usually one is always abandoned in favor of the other two, so the extraction doesn’t seem to break the rules.

Would you like some Tom Clancy again?

And that’s not the only parallel we can draw with the rest of the franchise. On the screen, the ideas leave you angry about the toughest missions at times. think The corporate division and his suite. If only it’s in the place of mercenaries of all kinds, it’s warlike aliens that must be eliminated. The codes of the expanded universe are therefore all respected, and Extraction is again reminiscent of the dystopian branch of the license Tom Clancy, even louder than in the very first announcement of the game, finally, the TPS, based in New York and Washington DC, staged a general contamination as the starting point of their story.

In addition, it is the parasite itself that is responsible for the eponymous missions of this new one Rainbow Six. If for any reason an attack went bad for a player and he fell in combat, the operator in question would be captured. On a next attempt it is therefore necessary to free the unfortunate man who is stuck in a gait that is attached to several “anchor points”.

. The three-way game then takes on its full meaning for the actual extraction. While one agent must perform a QTE action to break the gait, the other two must destroy the anchor points by shooting at them while surviving waves of enemies. Then the unconscious victim should be transported to the ex it point.

, in a way reminiscent of hostage mode siege.

Rainbow Six Economy

Another point that is reminiscent of the latter concerns the management of the equipment. Because despite the PvE aspect of the title, Extraction forces players to save their ballswhere others Protect in the cooperative are usually generous in ammunition. The developers obviously want to get teammates to ponder down to the smallest of their shots, which would make it more rewarding to gain experience points for every enemy killed or every action taken.. So it is not out of the question, as can be seen in the video, that a team member who is a little too crazy to pull the trigger may end up with an empty gun at the worst possible moment.

It also gives importance to the checkpoint system that we saw in the previous videos. After each goal reached and before entering the next area during an invasion, players have access to a small supply room. This will apparently restore health points to 100% and replenish gadgets and cartridges. But without having seen the details of this aspect, the mechanics can still have a few surprises in store.

Ubisoft therefore seems to want to reach as broad an audience as possible with its new title. The images shown this month appeal to fans of the previous part, just like those of The Division and The Division 2, or even newbies who want to discover a new experience in multiplayer and PvE. There are only two and a half months until we find out whether the studio has expanded too thinly or whether the bet wins. Rainbow Six Extraction will be coming to Xbox Series X on September 16, 2021 | S, Xbox One and PC released through the Ubisoft Store. You can already pre-order the game in dematerialized version for Xbox in the Microsoft Store for $ 69.99, or in physical version in stores.
