Long delayed Rainbow Six game will make its debut at Ubisoft’s E3 conference

By Otto Kratky June 3, 2021

Ubisoft announced that it’ll reveal gameplay for the next entry in the Rainbow Six franchise at its E3 showcase this year.

According to a blog post, Ubisoft’s E3 Forward presentation will include “world premiere gameplay and trailers revealing this brand-new co-op title for the first time.” The upcoming game was formerly titled Rainbow Six Quarantine before being renamed. The game’s new title hasn’t been revealed yet and will likely debut at Ubisoft’s Forward presentation. Rainbow Six Quarantine was originally going to release before March 2021 but was delayed along with Far Cry 6 to Ubisoft’s current fiscal year, spanning from April 2021 to March 2022.

The Ubisoft Forward showcase begins at noon PT on June 12. A deep dive into the upcoming Rainbow Six game will come immediately afterward at 1 p.m. PT.

Currently, there isn’t much information available on Ubisoft’s upcoming entry into the Rainbow Six franchise. We do know that it will be a co-op-centered game, and a teaser trailer released in 2019 hinted at zombies or some kind of infected enemies playing a major role.

Along with the upcoming Rainbow Six game, Ubisoft will show off more of Far Cry 6 at its Ubisoft Forward event. The developer and publisher recently revealed 14 minutes of the game during a short presentation, introducing players to the game’s main character, Dani Rojas. Updates for Ubisoft’s previously released titles, including Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Rainbow Six Siege, are also going to be revealed at the company’s E3 event.

Besides video games, Ubisoft will also be flaunting some of its other upcoming content, including the Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest and its upcoming move, Werewolves Within.

E3 returns to LA in 2023 thanks to the company behind PAX

After being canceled both physically and digitally in 2022, E3 seemed all but finished.

Now, we have confirmation on just how it plans to get back on its feet after the ESA announced a partnership with ReedPop, the company behind the PAX conventions.

E3 isn’t dead just yet as ESA plans physical show for 2023

Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest, as well as other digital gaming showcase livestreams coming this summer, have proven that the gaming industry doesn't need E3, which was canceled this year for the second time in two years to reduce health risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is telling everyone not to count it out just yet. Gaming's governing body has announced that E3 will be returning in 2023.

ESA President and CEO Stan Pierre-Louis said in an interview with The Washington Post that E3 2023 will combine both in-person and digital elements. He attributed the success of last year's virtual E3 to the expanse of its reach to fans and journalists around the world who couldn't afford to fly to Los Angeles for the convention or couldn't attend it for other reasons. He added that people still want to connect and network with each other in person.
