However, despite being a new game, Extraction still holds strong ties to Rainbow Six Siege as Extraction features many operators from the previous title in the Rainbow Six series.  

Many of the weapons players have come to know and love in Siege will also appear in some form in Rainbow Six Extraction. The setting is the same as well but set in an alternate Rainbow Six universe.
