Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Extraction - PlayStation 4

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction for PlayStation 4 is a cooperative tactical shooter that expands the Rainbow Six universe into a high-stakes fight against an alien threat. Set after a mysterious parasitic organism known as the Archæans begins infecting cities around the world, the game places players in the role of elite Rainbow operators tasked with containing and eradicating this rapidly evolving menace. The tone shifts from counter-terrorism to sci-fi survival while retaining the methodical pacing the series is known for.

Players form three-person squads and choose from a roster of familiar operators, each equipped with unique gadgets, weapons, and abilities adapted for PvE missions. Objectives vary from rescuing hostages and collecting samples to eliminating powerful enemies, all within contained zones that emphasize planning, stealth, and teamwork. Enemy types are highly reactive, punishing reckless behavior and rewarding careful coordination, sound management, and tactical execution. Every mission carries risk, as injured or captured operators must be rescued in future runs.

Often referred to simply as Rainbow Six: Extraction or R6 Extraction, this PlayStation 4 release focuses entirely on cooperative play, offering scalable difficulty and progression systems that encourage replayability. By blending Rainbow Six’s signature tactical gameplay with an evolving alien threat, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Extraction delivers a tense and strategic co-op experience designed for players who value communication, preparation, and calculated action.
