Ubisoft teases new Rainbow Six Extraction map a week after launch

Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Extraction has been out about a week now, and it looks like we’re already getting teasers for post-launch content and a better idea of the Rainbow Six Extraction roadmap for the months ahead. A Codex entry for Tinworth, a village in Wiltshire, England, has been shared online and many are speculating that this could be the location of Rainbow Six Extractions’ first post-launch map update.

At a glance, it might seem unusual that Ubisoft has chosen Tinworth for a Codex entry – however, this isn’t the first time the location has appeared in Extraction’s lore, and we’re not sure if this will be the last time either.

Looking at Extraction’s in-game Codex menu – a place where you can find more information on Extraction’s lore – Tinworth is mentioned as a ‘concurrent project’ with classified status. Under the ‘REACT Projects’ tab of the Codex, the village is listed alongside Angela, South Africa, and Apricots, Haiti, as one location where lower priority events have been recorded and a recent Twitter post could hint that all three locations are going to be added to Extraction at some point in the future.

This tweet, which you can see below, confirms that the Chimera outbreak – which is the main outbreak you face in Extraction – isn’t the end of the Archaean threat. Mira is actively looking for other strains and a “mutated cow in Tinworth” could be the source of the next outbreak.

Tinworth might seem like a safe location, but geographically it’s near to Portion Down – the home of the Ministry of Defense’s Defense Science and Technology Laboratory.

As one of the most secretive military facilities in England, rumored to be home to a number of dangerous diseases and viruses, this could be the perfect place for Ubisoft to stage a fictional second outbreak for any post-launch content. It certainly seems logical that the Achaeans would look to these sorts of facilities for new ways to attack and overcome Extraction’s REACT operators and humanity as a whole.

At the moment, information about the Rainbow Six Extraction roadmap and future content for the co-op shooter is light – however, Tinworth seems like it could be where the Extraction’s first Crisis Event will take place.
