Rainbow Six Extraction isn’t set to release until next year, but Rainbow Six Siege’s next event takes a bit of inspiration from the upcoming game! Revealed by Ubisoft earlier today, the Containment event sees the Consulate taken over by the Chimera bacteria. The bacteria has created the Proteans, monster versions of other operators from the game! Operators affiliated with REACT will have to handle the outbreak, and stop the bacteria from spreading further. The REACT operators will take the role of attackers in the event, while the Proteans will be the defenders. The event is set to kick-off on August 3rd and will run through August 24th.

It’s a battle of survival against a new threat! Play the limited time in-game event, Containment, inspired by Rainbow Six Extraction. Recruit your squad, experience an all-new game mode and don’t miss your chance to unlock free content! Play between August 3 - 24. pic.twitter.com/dGlbtS0yHR
