The Rainbow Six Extraction release date has been pushed back to early next year, but it looks like we won't have to wait that long to get a taste of the alien invasion. Ubisoft is teasing a new Rainbow Six Siege event for August that looks to be connected to the upcoming game - and a load of leaks have already provided details on what form that event will take.

The official Rainbow Six Siege Twitter account has posted a "routine safety announcement" from the Abidjan Metro System, warning that the "consulate station and surrounding areas are currently closed to commuters due to a gas leak". A new header image for the account includes an Extraction-style growth and a date of August 3.

No prizes for guessing that Consulate is getting an Extraction-themed takeover based on all that, and exactly such an event has already leaked - as most big Siege updates tend to do. Footage of a special mode set in Consulate with all of Extraction's alien goop recently surfaced courtesy of Zer0Bytes, alongside an indication that the event would last through August 24.
