Developed by a new team at Ubisoft Montreal, Rainbow Six Quarantine is a team-based shooter that will try to take the successful formula of Rainbow Six Siege and add some horde survival to it. This cooperative multiplayer game is based on the Outbreak Event, a unique one-time event that was created for Rainbow Six Siege. This mode would pitch 3 players against an alien threat from outer space.

A mysterious Russian probe would crash on American soil and infect all around with the unknown virus. A small team of three operatives must make their way through hordes of infected enemies with a help of different weapons and gadgets.

Rainbow Six Quarantine takes this idea and expands on it, creating a unique and intense experience in the process. So far there is not much information or exact details on the gameplay. A short cinematic trailer and some quotes from the developers can give us some clues on what this game will look like. As said by the developers inside Ubisoft Montreal, Rainbow Six Quarantine is a deep, radically re-designer, full game experience with a true and passionate vision.

With 3 classes ( Assault, Recon, and Support) and some familiar characters like Ela and Vigil from Rainbow Six Siege, this game will also include different mission types like Sabotage, Disruption, Escort, and Hunt. With all that info, we could assume that this new Rainbow Six game will give us a unique mix of intense Rainbow Six Siege gameplay with this new Outbreak Event mechanics and game loops. But we won’t see its release till the next year in 2021.
