0Ubisoft has confirmed 'Rainbow Six Quarantine' won't be renamed 'Parasite'.
The studio has opened up plans to change the name of the upcoming game in light of the current coronavirus pandemic, but the apparent new title is simply a placeholder until an official reveal.
In a statement to Eurogamer, the company commented: "While we recently shared that we will be changing the name of 'Rainbow Six Quarantine', ‘Parasite’ is only a placeholder that our internal teams use.
"Recently, we ran an internal test for the game and some of its details became public.
"We can confirm this is a glimpse of the upcoming game, and we will share more details, including the official name, soon.”
During a recent earnings call, Ubisoft management revealed they were looking into the possibility of changing the 'Quarantine' name.
The game's release was also delayed in autumn, with the studio now aiming for a March 2021 launch date.
The subject of the title is similar to 'Rainbow Six Siege', although it will feature a PVE approach letting you pit your squad against inhuman creatures.
