Ubisoft is Developing a Turn-Based Tactics Game Set in The Rainbow 6 Universe

Ubisoft is developing a new turn-based tactics game set in the same universe as Rainbow 6 Siege, coming to current-gen consoles.

It's like a slow moving train wreck..

Rainbow Six is actually a great IP for something like this. I'm assuming it's likely similar to XCOM, and that would be a perfect fit for R6.

[S2Killinit]

I’m always excited for a good turn based strategy game.

[PapaBop]

Agreed, I'm excited to see how it turns out, hopefully they do Ubi it up.

[DodoDojo]

It's my favorite game genre so I'm sold already.

[Relientk77]

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

Obnoxious MT shops might not go with a game like this. Are they sure they want to make an actual game?

[SpacedDuck]

Another game that will launch, flop and result in people getting fired.

Just shut up and make a new Splinter Cell and stop milking Siege and make a new Rainbow Six 3 style Rainbow Six game.

[S2Killinit]

Do you sound this annoying in real life?

[Michiel1989]

their turn based mario games were pretty good

[Inverno]

That actually fits the series quite well

[CrimsonWing69]

I would actually try this out.

[TheColbertinator]

I like XCOM and all but most copycats dont get it right unfortunately.

[Ethereal]

I like the idea. Let's see if it delivers.

[jznrpg]

It’s a great idea hopefully they deliver. Don’t get greedy with BS and just make a good game

[Tacoboto]

XCOM style, or possibly a Rainbow Six take on the gameplay style of the fun Mario + Rabbids titles

[victorMaje]

Finally something fresh out of Ubisoft, this could actually be good as a single player game with a story like the book’s which is amazing.
Let’s hope they don’t Ubisoft it with Mtx and an in-game store…

[HyperMoused]

Something that nobody wants or asked for, way to go Ubi

[S2Killinit]

But I want it. Who do you speak for?

[HyperMoused]

Well you are their target audience good for you

[S2Killinit]

Oh ok good i thought you were speaking on my behalf there for a moment.

[bunt-custardly]

I HOPE, it is more like the tactical planning of the early R6 titles (Rogue Spear) rather than the OTT fantasy nature of Siege. They could really make a mission planning feature (similar to the older games) with this turn-based set-up. Fingers crossed. I don't hold out much hope though. Turn Based strategy caters to a different audience, but Ubisoft will fuck it up with MT and OTT fantasy characters and stupid skins/crossovers etc.

What is this community’s hate boner for turn based games?

[jznrpg]

I love the idea. I hope they pull it off without boosters and all that crap
