Some bigRainbow Sixnews may be on the way in the very near future. An ambiguous tweet was just sent out in regards toRainbow Six Siege, but the details are very fuzzy. ANew Elite set was just released inRainbow Six Siege, and the announcement could be content on that level. Or the reveal could be something having to do withRainbow Six Quarantine.
Ubisoft has aggressively supportedRainbow Six Siegesince it launched in 2015 with new operators, updates, DLC, and more. Meanwhile,Rainbow Six Quarantinewas originally revealed back in 2019as a co-op spinoff toRainbow Six Siege. This new Twitter tease could be for eitherRainbow Sixtitle.

At noon today, the ominous tweet was sent out with the words “We scoured the Earth, looking for salvation…” The tweet also comes with an image that makes little sense. The picture has splatters of green colors, reminiscent of ooze. A date is also on the image and it reads May 4th, 2021.
Rainbow Six Quarantineappears to be a PvE co-opgame where players team up against AI parasite aliens. The idea that “we” are searching throughout Earth “looking for salvation” could line up with the apparent lore ofQuarantine.Additionally, the green coloring has matched some of the imagery of the game so far. The idea that that fans could finally be receiving news of this game seems like a solid one.
The other interesting thing isRainbow Six Quarantinemay receive a new name. Rumors have the new name being calledParasite,notQuarantine.There are various reasons for the name change, including the idea that the word quarantine holds a different weight than it did before the COVID-19 pandemic. If the May 4 announcement is indeed in relation to this spin-off, it could be about an official name change.
There are a lot of theories aboutRainbow Six Quarantine. If the game is very closely integrated withRainbow Six Siege, theSiegeoperators could play a big part inQuarantine.Progress from each game could even carry over, ala each year’sCall of DutyandCall of Duty: Warzone.
It is also totally plausible that this tease from theRainbow Sixcrew has nothing to do withQuarantine/Parasite. At any given moment,Rainbow Six Siegecould see a new operator, new DLC, and cosmetics, etc., so on May 4 fans could simply see more of that. Whether it beQuarantineorSiege–or something else entirely–the answers should hopefully arrive very soon.
Rainbow Six Siegeis available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
