Rainbow Six Quarantine Release Date Window Set For Early Next Year

Rainbow Six Quarantine was revealed at E3 this year with a vague "early 2020" release window. Now, publisher Ubisoft has narrowed that time frame a little further, although we don't yet have a precise release date.

The company stated in its most recent earnings call that the game will launch before the end of the current financial year (via Game Informer). That means we'll be playing Quarantine by March 31, 2020 at the very latest--barring any delays, of course.

Quarantine is a multiplayer PvE game, in contrast to Siege's predominantly PvP gameplay. The mode appears similar to Rainbow Six Siege Outbreak, a popular limited-time mode. Ubisoft has now decided to split off PvE into its very own game.

"We set out to create a radically re-designed co-op experience built on the foundations of one of the best shooters of this generation. What Siege is to the PVP shooter genre, we want Quarantine to be to co-op," Ubisoft said about the game when it was announced last month.

Like the company's entire library, it will be included in the Uplay+ service set to launch this fall.

Quarantine is designed to sit alongside Siege, rather than replace it. The latter continues to evolve, and its latest Operation Phantom Sight update makes a bunch of Operator changes. You can see more on the new spin-off game, meanwhile, in the video above.
