Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is an upcoming game in the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six series.

Inspired by counter-terrorist activities across the world, Rainbow Six Siege invites players to master the art of destruction. The pillars of Rainbow Six—tactics, teamwork, and tension—are the center of the experience.

Features

• Counter Terrorist Units: Counter terrorist operatives are trained to handle extreme situations, such as hostage rescue, with surgical precision. As “short range” specialists, their training is concentrated on indoor environments. Operating in tight formations, they are experts of close quarter combat, demolition, and coordinated assaults.

• Procedural Destruction: Destruction is at the heart of the siege gameplay. Leveraging Ubisoft Montreal’s proprietary Realblast engine, players now have the unprecedented ability to destroy environments. Walls can be shattered, opening new lines of fire, and ceiling and floors can be breached, creating new access points. Everything in the environment reacts realistically, dynamically, and uniquely based on the size and caliber of bullets you are using or the amount of explosives you have set. In Rainbow Six Siege, destruction is meaningful and mastering it is often the key to victory.

Gameplay

Siege is a first-person tactical shooter that includes single-player, multiplayer, and cooperative modes. It's powered by Realblast Destruction, enabling high levels of destruction for next-gen consoles and high-end computers.

For the first time in Rainbow Six, players will engage in sieges, a brand-new style of assault. Enemies now have the means to transform their environments into strongholds: they can trap, fortify, and create defensive systems to prevent breach by Rainbow teams.

The game will not feature the cover system used in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Multiplayer

The first game mode announced was Hostage Rescue at E3 2014. It pits two "asymmetrical" teams against each other in a fight to secure the hostage. There will be six rounds where teams are assaulting and defending three times each for three minutes.

Classes

The multiplayer Rainbow classes are as follows: Pointman: carries a big riot shield and a pistol, with the other two selectable Rainbow classes being the high-firepower Assaulter: carries high-powered weaponry Breacher: carries equipment based around destruction.

Development

It was announced at E3 2014 with multiplayer footage.

The game will have an initial closed alpha test sometime in 2015.
