Yves Guillemot, co-founder and CEO of Ubisoft, told investors yesterday that the company wants to change the name of the company Rainbow Six Quarantine due to the negative connotations of the subtitle while the world is still in the midst of the covid-19 pandemic.
‘We are creating a product that is actually … as it is called today, that is what we are evaluating and we will see what comes in the future [Rainbow Six Quarantine]Guillemot said after being asked if he had considered delaying the match due to the name (h / t) VGC).
When contacted by Kotaku for comment, an Ubisoft representative said the company did not need to add anything to Guillemot’s statement.
Although Rainbow Six Quarantine wash first revealed at E3 2019 it started as Pioneer, the doomed science project teased Watchdogs 2. Since then, the world has been engulfed by pandemic concerns due to the spread of covid-19, which creates an awkward environment to release a game primarily about the spread of an alien plague.
Ubisoft needs another release date for Rainbow Six Quarantine, but the chief financial officer, Frédérick Duguet, said during the same investor call that it is still planned to launch sometime this year.
