Despite Rainbow Six Extraction and Rainbow Six Siege's similarities, Extraction creative director Patrik Méthé isn't worried about the two games possibly cannibalizing each other's audiences. He said that developer Ubisoft Montreal is confident that Extraction will build its own sustainable audience instead of stealing players away from Siege.

"They're both very different games offering their own challenges and pacing so there's no worry in that regard, quite the opposite in fact," Méthé told GameSpot. "The way [Extraction] is built in its PvE nature--we're confident that it will appeal to a wide variety of players from both sides."

For Siege players looking to split their time with Extraction, Méthé says that Extraction's formula changes how you play with certain operators and their abilities, so playing the game should be a "fresh experience," even if it does feel familiar.
