Rainbow Six Extraction’s release date and time are almost here. Soon, Rainbow Six players will once again be able to fight the mutant menace, which first appeared almost four years ago as a limited-time mode in Operation Chimera. However, the virus has spread around much more. As a result, we now have a full game based on the LTM. Here is everything you need to know about the Rainbow Six Extraction release time.
Rainbow SIx Extraction release time and countdown
Thanks to Ubisoft’s press team, we know exactly when the count down to the Rainbow Six Extraction release time is up.
