Ubisoft delays both Riders Republic and Rainbow Six Extraction

Ubisoft has again delayed Riders Republic, though only by a few weeks, but along with that is the news that Rainbow Six Extraction will no longer release in September and instead come out in January 2022.

Here is the statement about the Rainbow Six Extraction delay:

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 in 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.

Right now, there is no specific date provided, just that it will be sometime in the new year. The game is set to release for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC via Epic Game Store and Ubisoft+. Here is a gameplay deep dive, if you want to see what the game is all about.

As for Riders Republic, the delay for it is only a little one, well from the start of one month, until the end of the next, but still this year, check out the full statement for that delay below.

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.

The game is set to have a beta before launch, which given its massive multiplayer component, is a good thing, if you want to take part in that, you can sign up for the beta here. The beta, much like the full game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC via Epic Game Store and Ubisoft+
