New Rainbow Six Game Announced by Ubisoft, But It's Not a Shooter

The game shifts Rainbow Six from shooters to turn-based tactics, with 15 classes and a release planned for 2027.

  • During Gamescom, at Opening Night Live, Ubisoft announced Rainbow Six Tactics, an XCOM-like turn-based game set within the existing Rainbow Six universe.
  • Rainbow Six Tactics features isometric gameplay where players coordinate squads of operators across global missions, selecting from 15 different classes with unique gadgets and weapons.
  • Traditionally, Rainbow Six games were single-player shooters seen as a "hardcore" alternative, while Rainbow Six Siege became a live-service breakthrough with more than 70 million players.
  • Trailer footage highlights tactical maneuvers, including a sniper firing through two enemies in one shot and an operator deploying a tiny robot to deliver an explosive.
  • Ubisoft scheduled the game for release in 2027, making the new title available on PS5, Xbox One Series, and Windows.
