Yesterday evening, we learned from dataminers that the next Rainbow Six Quarantine had changed its name to finally name itself as Rainbow Six Parasite. A term not too far from the first, knowing that we are still evolving in this theme of infection, since the story will evoke contact between Humans and an extraterrestrial race. Ubisoft had warned during its last financial report that a rebranding of the game would be carried out, probably to avoid amalgamating with the COVID crisis, which could give a bad image on the game. If visuals were extracted of the last update of the game via the PlayStation Store, Ubisoft nevertheless wanted to react to this leak. It is near our English colleagues from Eurogamer to explain that it was an internal placeholder, in other words a working title before the reveal of the final name.
Although we recently announced that we would be changing the name of Rainbow Six Quarantine, Parasite is only a working title that we use internally. Recently, we have been testing the game internally and some details of the game have been made public. We can assure you that this is a tiny part of the upcoming game, and we will share more details with you very soon, including the official name of the game.
Should we see sincere statements or a way of doing damage control around a new leak on a Ubisoft game? The future will tell, but it is true that Ubisoft is by far the publisher most subject to leaks. Something that sticks to their skin. In the meantime, we remind you that Rainbow Six Quarantine / Parasite will be a tactical FPS in cooperation, playable up to 3 players and which will immerse us in an atmosphere of the end of the world, with viruses and aliens. Crispy menu indeed.
