A leak on Twitter on SkyOfficial's profile, which shows some frames on one of the titles still in the works of Ubisoft, that means Rainbow Six Parasite. The spin off of Rainbow Six Siege sinks its foundation on the events of Siege's Year 1 Season 2, that is Operation Chimera, which was dedicated to the presentation of a non-canonical, limited-time event focused on fighting the undead. The expansion set in a universe that we repeat is disconnected from the main plot of the game, it saw the operators of the team Rainbow face armies of alien zombies charting new canons for a future in the series. After a few months the event ended and the cooperative mode was simply removed from the game, but given the amount of content and the new integrated mechanics it is not surprising that Ubisoft has decided to dedicate a chapter totally dedicated to the theme zombie.
Operation Chimera was in fact one of the most consistent seasons of all in terms of content, with the limited-time expansion which included three missions with the most beloved protagonists of the Rainbow Six Siege team presented until then, and two new unreleased operators, Finka e Leo. The missions, although not very long, were still interesting because they introduced gameplay mechanics absolutely aliene for the brand. Fans at the time, in fact, could immediately notice the horror tints of the expansion with the facts narrated in a totally different context from the plausible and realistic one to which the brand had become accustomed over the years. Furthermore, the gameplay varied significantly with fights three players against hordes of alien zombies which replaced the methodical sieges in small 5vs5 structures typical of the base game. Given the amount of work, with real HD cutscene and the aforementioned totally new mechanics for the game, it was extremely likely that Ubisoft would dedicate a Zombie-themed game to us and it was so when it announced Rainbow Six Parasite at E3 last year.
The recent pandemic of Covid-19 however, has slowed down the development work considerably so much that the entire game has been postponed along with other Ubisoft titles such as Far Cry 6 of several months. However, the short Leak in the article shows one very short gameplay session which does assume that the title is at least playable and that i jobs are therefore now at a good point. In particular, we see an operator holding a rifle in his arms who shoots an alien conglomerate rooted to the ground, as if the character was attacking a source ofbiological infection. Similar elements recall some objects of the scenario present in Operation Chimera of Rainbow Six Siege, so it could be a real leak, however we strongly invite you to wait for official confirmation from Ubisoft to clarify the matter with confidence.
Please Ubi, give us some info about it ? pic.twitter.com/oPhmvKvDXm
