Ubisoft Announce Delays of Rainbow Six Extraction and Riders Republic

The latest news from Ubisoft HQ may not be music to everyone’s ears, with the video game developer and publisher today confirming delays for two of their upcoming titles – Riders Republic and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction. The former is now expected to be available from 28 October 2021, with the latter expected on an unspecified date in January 2022.

According to Ubisoft, the decision to delay both games is as follows:

To give more opportunities for players to test, play firsthand and give feedback to ensure we are bringing the best experiences to market and allow them to reach their full potential. We believe the new release schedules will allow us to achieve that goal. This is the right decision for our players and for the long-term performance of our games.

Separate statements from the community teams of both games have been released, which can be read below:

Riders Republic Community Statement

We can’t wait for you all to hit the Republic in our upcoming beta! This will be the first time you get to go hands-on in this massive multiplayer playground and we are looking forward to hearing what you think.

To ensure we can deliver the best game for all players, we’ve made the tough decision to delay our release date from September 2 to October 28. This will give us more time to fine tune the experience and give you another chance to jump in before launch and provide feedback. We’ll have more to share soon stay tuned!

Rainbow Six Extraction Community Statement

Our ambition with Rainbow Six Extraction is to deliver a full-fledged AAA experience that changes the way you play and think about cooperative games. With unique features like Missing In Action or The Sprawl, every mission is set to be a tense and challenging experience in which you’ll lead the elite operators of Rainbow Six in a fight against a lethal and evolving alien threat. We are embracing the opportunity to take additional time to bring this vision to life the way it deserves in January 2022. We are confident this will ensure Rainbow Six Extraction is the immersive, cooperative, and thrilling experience we set out to create, and the one you aspire to play.

We look forward to sharing more with you very soon!
