Overview
- Ubisoft revealed Rainbow Six Tactics during Gamescom Opening Night Live on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, describing it as a turn‑based, single‑player tactical game set in the Rainbow Six universe.
- The game is being developed by Ubisoft Paris and is due on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2027, with wishlists live, closed‑beta details announced, and day‑one availability on Ubisoft+.
- Tactics uses a HQ‑to‑field loop where players lead squads of up to four operators drawn from a 15‑operator roster taken from Rainbow Six Siege and the Vegas games.
- Core mechanics include a realtime drone reconnaissance phase, fully destructible environments, operator skill trees and a synchronized Breach feature that lets all operators act at once.
- Ubisoft says the title is strictly single‑player with no in‑game store or microtransactions, a design choice that aims to broaden the series beyond Siege’s decade‑long live‑service model.
