There have been rumors that Ubisoft was planning a name change for Rainbow Six Quarantine following our real-life quarantine situation due to COVID-19. With Ubisoft Forward just a few days away, the studio has confirmed the new name with a brand new video. The new title? Rainbow Six Extraction. 

Ubisoft released a brand new teaser trailer debuting the new name, talking about the latest co-op shooter experience in the Tom Clancy universe. Small game teasers can be seen in the video below, as well as a message from the team. 

Rainbow Six Extraction is a co-op experience that will have Operators try to survive an alien threat. This no-man-left-behind experience takes a much darker turn than that of Rainbow Six Siege and is all about communication with your team in order for the best chance at survival. 

We don't know much about Rainbow Six Extraction, but we will have more information soon with Ubisoft Forward kicking off E3 2021. To learn more about the full E3 schedule coming up, you can check out our previous coverage here. 

Rainbow Six Extraction was pushed back in 2020 due to the pandemic and enforced work from home orders. The decision to delay was meant to give the team more time to make sure that the playable experience is what was promised to fans versus trying to rush it out and have the co-op title be plagued with frustrating bugs. We'll be learning more about what Rainbow Six Extraction has to offer on June 12 at 12 p.m. specific. 

What are your thoughts on the name change? Are you excited to learn more about this co-op experience with Rainbow Six Extraction or are you all Tom Clancy'd out? Sound off with your thoughts in the comment section below! 

Back in February, Ubisoft indefinitely delayed Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake. Fans of the series were likely hopeful that this week's Ubisoft Forward might shed light on the game’s status. Unfortunately, Ubisoft has confirmed that the remake will not be making an appearance.

Ubisoft confirmed the news via Twitter (as sighted by Fanbyte) stating that while the game is making “great progress” it’s not ready to pull the curtain back on it again just yet. 

On the (sort of) bright side, the statement confirms that the remake is projected to launch sometime next year. A bummer, but it's good to know that we shouldn't expect the game this year. Check out the full statement below.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake was announced last September and is being developed by Ubisoft India. It serves as an enhanced upgrade of the 2003 classic and features modernized controls, re-recorded dialogue by the original voice cast, and improved visuals (although some fans have argued it could look better). 

The remake was originally scheduled to launch January 21. It was then delayed to March 18. Regardless of when it releases, it will cost $39.99 and be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. There’s still no word if native PS5/Xbox Series X/S versions are in the works. 

Ubisoft Forward will air Saturday, June 12 – the first day of E3 2021 – at 12 p.m. Pacific. So far, Ubisoft has confirmed the show will include updates on games such as the upcoming Rainbow Six Extraction (formerly known as Quarantine), Far Cry 6, Riders Republic, and Assassin's Creed Valhalla. A pre-show will air one hour earlier at 11 a.m. and will have announcements for Watch Dogs: Legion, For Honor, Trackmania, The Crew 2, and other titles. To keep up with the ever-changing E3 press conference times, we put a handy schedule together that you can view here.
