A Tactical Rainbow Six is Coming
According to recent rumors, Ubisoft may be preparing to transform the Rainbow Six franchise into a turn-based tactical game.
Instead of the usual FPS style, this new project is said to feature XCOM-like, top-down, strategy-driven gameplay, where players command familiar operators in calculated missions.The game is rumored to include a 25–30 hour campaign and is being developed for PC, next-gen consoles, and possibly Switch 2.
This pivot could be Ubisoft’s way of reviving the franchise after lukewarm responses to Rainbow Six Extraction and other recent missteps.There’s also talk that this title might be connected to Ubisoft’s new venture with Tencent, though nothing is officially confirmed.
In short: Ubisoft may be taking a bold turn. A Rainbow Six focused on brains over bullets is an intriguing idea—but whether fans will embrace it remains to be seen.
