Rainbow Six Extractionis just a few days away, and Ubisoft has released several trailers in the lead-up to the game’s release.WhileExtractionis one of January’s most notable releases, it seems to be flying under the radar.
Ubisoft had recently detailedMaelstrom Protocol inRainbow Six Extraction, which will task players with 9 objectives having various modifiers and represents some of the end-game content on offer. The operators as well as objectives rotate on a weekly basis, and it aims to keep the players engaged throughout the post-launch period. Now, Ubisoft has released a new trailer that highlights the key ability of one of the operators.

The video provides a short look into how operator Rook can help the team inRainbow Six Extraction. Rook can drop armor plates for the whole team, and players wearing armor will get increased damage resistance during enemy encounters. Additionally, players will get downed, instead of getting knocked out, when using these armor plates, helping to potentially stave off operators going M.I.A. The short 40-second video mainly focuses on Rook’s unique ability and shows some glimpses of the combat.
The trailer ends with mentioning that friends can playRainbow Six Extractionfor free via a Buddy Pass system. This will allow players to invite 2 friends, on any platform, to play for up to 14 days. It sounds like this Buddy Pass will work similarly toco-op inIt Takes Two, which also allowed players to invite a friend for free.
Fans on PC should take a look at theminimum system requirements forRainbow Six Extractionbefore finalizing their purchase. Players do not need a high-end PC to playExtraction, and it will support uncapped frame rates, in addition to Nvidia DLSS, Nvidia Reflex, and Vulkan API. It will also get support for ray tracing on PC.
Rainbow Six Extractionis not a full-priced gamewith the standard edition being available for $39.99. A deluxe edition, which comes with 3 bonus packs, will sell for $49.99. Furthermore,Extractionwill be a day 1 release on Xbox Game Pass, on both console and PC, when it launches on January 20. Coincidentally, bothRainbow Six ExtractionandHitman Trilogylaunch on Xbox Game Pass on the same day. Ubisoft is hopingRainbow Six Extractioncan reach the popularity level ofRainbow Six Siege, but at the very least, its lower price and availability on Xbox Game Pass should help in maintaining a healthy player base.
