Rainbow Six Extraction’s Nightmare Fog will have you shooting at hallucinations

Ubisoft is launching a new “crisis event” dubbed Nightmare Fog today for its Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction co-op shooter game. It is a limited-time event that will test your operator’s senses as an unavoidable fog of toxins makes its way through the containment zone.

I played the Crisis Event at a Ubisoft preview event and naturally got pretty shredded in the game. But I enjoyed it, and apparently a lot of other people are having a good time with Rainbow Six Extraction, which saw more than five million players in its launch quarter.
