Ubisoft @ E3 14: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege announced
Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot popped up at the end of the publisher’s E3 Press Conference with a big ending. Guillemot blew the roof off the building with the unveiling of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. In a heavily-scripted gameplay video pulled from a multiplayer game, we see one team storm a house to rescue a hostage, while another team tries to take out their attackers.
“If you look at long-range battle, you will find Battlefield. If you’re looking for short-to-medium-range battle, you will find Call of Duty,” said Creative Director Xavier Marquis. “In the short range, no one exists but us.”
While the attackers appear to have more advanced tech to track their opponents, the defending team can barricade themselves into rooms by blocking windows and setting boobytraps. The game also appears to have totally destructible environments.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege currently has no release date, but will likely be available for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One. This means that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Patriots is most likely no more.
