Rainbow Six Tactics Features Optional Permadeath, Ironman Mode

Ubisoft unveiled Rainbow Six Tactics, a single-player turn-based tactics game featuring 15 renowned Operators from the popular multiplayer shooter, Rainbow Six Siege. Game director Martial Potron spoke about the creation of this first solo Rainbow Six game since 2008, discussing the importance of tactics and the optional permadeath and Ironman modes.

Potron drew inspiration from franchises like Gears Tactics and emphasized that Rainbow Six Tactics must first succeed as a strong tactics game before becoming a Rainbow Six game. The game will release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S next year.
