The game is a fully single-player turn-based tactical simulation, a departure from the series' usual first-person shooter format. It is scheduled for release in 2027 on PC via Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and Epic Games Store, as well as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. Players command the Rainbow elite special forces unit from a commander's perspective, working to rebuild the organization after it has been devastated. The campaign features 15 operators from Rainbow Six Siege, with players building a four-person squad. Gameplay alternates between a strategy phase for base management and operator upgrades, and a tactics phase for missions. Missions include hostage rescue, bomb defusal, and elimination of VIP targets, beginning with drone reconnaissance and a breach planning phase. Stages are handcrafted with over 50 designs, and terrain destruction plays a central role in combat. The story follows Paul Bishop, protagonist of Rainbow Six Vegas 2, as he becomes the Rainbow commander known as Six.","whyItMatters":"This marks the first fully single-player Rainbow Six title since the Vegas series, shifting the franchise from its multiplayer-focused Siege identity to a turn-based format.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUbisoft announced the game during the gamescom Opening Night Live 2026 broadcast, which began at 3:00 AM Japan time on August 26.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe story is set between Year 10 and Year 11 of Rainbow Six Siege, depicting the collapse of Rainbow and the rebuilding effort.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach operator has unique abilities, specialized gadgets, and a dedicated skill tree, with the most popular Siege characters selected and their skills adapted for turn-based play.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMission maps range from city centers to marinas, with over 50 handcrafted designs; only enemy and hostage placements change randomly.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCombat relies on reconnaissance, with players operating drones to scout enemy and trap placements before positioning operators at entry points for a coordinated assault.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTerrain destruction lets players blast through walls and cover to surprise enemies.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAt release, the game is planned to be available on Ubisoft+, GeForce Now, and Blacknut, in addition to the PC stores and consoles.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWishlist registrations are open for PC (Ubisoft Connect, Steam, Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Rainbow Six Tactics is turn-based, single-player, and stars Paul Bishop from Vegas 2.
