Rainbow Six Tactics game director says the game's 15 Operators have 'unique' loadouts so they didn't 'overlap' with each other — but there was still room for 'community favorites' and 'operators that were impossible to not include'

Rainbow Six Tactics game director Martial Potron explained that each of the 15 Operators in the game boasts unique gadgets, playstyles, and progression to ensure no overlap between them. Potron emphasized the importance of making each Operator feel distinct and serve different roles in the game, as it was a crucial aspect of the creative process.

He revealed that Ash, Sledge, and other popular Operators will be included in the roster, noting that they were "impossible not to include." Despite the challenge of making tough decisions, Potron acknowledged disappointment over certain Operators not being part of the game, such as Tachanka and Lion. Regarding future additions, Potron stated that there are no current plans to expand the roster beyond the 15 Operators for the launch of Rainbow Six Tactics in 2027.
