A Friday double-delay
Ubisoft has announced that two of its upcoming games are getting pushed back a bit.Rainbow Six Extractionis now targeting January 2022, while extreme sports simRiders Republichas moved from September 2 to October 28.
In astatement onRainbow SixExtraction‘s delay, the team says it is embracing an opportunity to take additional time to bring its vision forExtractionto life.
“We are confident that this will ensureRainbow Six Extractionis the immersive, cooperative, and thrilling experience we set out to create, and the one you aspire to play,” reads the news post. “We look forward to sharing more with you very soon!”
On theRiders Republicside, the team there says its delay is to ensure it can deliver the best game for all players. “This will give us more time to fine tune the experience and give you another chance to jump in before launch and provide feedback,” the statement says. “We’ll have more to share soon, so stay tuned!”
Riders Republicis also set to host a beta sometime in the future, with sign-ups still live on theRiders Republicsite right now. The extreme sports sim from Ubisoft had already experienced a delay,bumping it from February of this yearto later on. This new date is only a little bit later though, so those holding out for some sports action won’t have to wait too long.
Rainbow Six Extraction‘s delay pushes it out into the next year though. The game’s gone through a number of developments, including aname change, and it’s also taking the “breach-and-clear” world ofRainbow Six Siegeinto the co-op shooter realm. It certainly looked interesting to me when it wasshown off during this year’s Ubisoft Forward stream, so hopefully the extra time can help solidify what the team’s aiming to do.
