Poor Ubisoft, they seem to be having a tough time of it, as another one of their potential E3 reveals might have leaked ahead of time. During E3 conference will announce Rainbow Six Quarantine, a new co-op shooter that’ll use the Rainbow Six Siege engine. It’s possible that it’ll also use some re-tool assets from Ubisoft’s cancelled Pioneer project. The rumour comes from industry insider Nibel, who tweeted the following:
Update: Rainbow Six Quarantine is a co-op PVE shooter that will be announced at Ubisoft's E3 2019

There’s not really anything else floating around, though Kotaku News Editor Jason Schreier’s solitary “Yup” in reply to the above tweet seems to suggest there’s some legitimacy to it. Nibel and Schreier are both renowned for their ability to reveal gaming details to the public, so it’s probably safe to assume R6 Quarantine exists.
Last year’s successful Outbreak event also proved that there’s clearly a market for a co-op shooter using the Rainbow Six Siege engine, so perhaps after that, Ubisoft fast-tracked production of a stand-alone title. With the Outbreak event focusing on the containment of an alien infestation in New Mexico, Quarantine could be the next logical step in that storyline, either bringing the Chimera Virus outbreak to a new location, or potentially even bringing the fight to space.
As for the other game mentioned in the above tweet, the Orpheus project looks to be a small-scale RPG that’ll use a similar art style to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and if there’s a graphical inspiration to pull from, BOTW is probably one of the best.
We won’t have to wait long to find out whether or not Rainbow Six Quarantine is real or not, as Ubisoft’s E3 stream is set for Monday, 10th June at 9pm BST. Do you want Quarantine to be real? Sound off in the comments below.
