According to this information, the tactical shift game still has a development time and would not be available for up to a year or two for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series as well as PC, with the possibility of a version for Nintendo Switch 2. Two of the sources to which Henderson has had access argue that the game camera would be similar to that of Devil IV or XCOM, and from this optics the players would take control of the different operators. One of the informants is quite graphic when he maintains that a simple way to get an idea is to see Xcom's playability, but updated and with kinematics.
As in Rainbow Six Siege (and all games of the genre), each character or operator will have their own skills and the players would choose them based on their style of play and the needs of the mission. The orders would be of different kinds, including assaulting buildings or saving hostages. The campaign would have a duration of between 25 and 30 hours, a game time that could vary depending on the ability of each player and whether all the content and kinemics are ended in the title or there are cuts during its development.
Developing a game is never simple, but in the case of a spin-off Rainbow Six siege strategy The team has a lot to grab, starting with the dozens of operators and tactical options that the main game already offers.
On the other hand, this project should become part of the subsidiary that Ubisoft and Tencent will create for Assassin's Creed, Far Cry and Rainbow Six, although this is something that the sources consulted still do not know. Today Rainbow is one of Ubisoft's most important intellectual properties. In its day the company tried to expand without success with the shooter Rainbow Six Extraction Cooperative Tactic. We will see if you have more luck with a strategy game for XCOM -style shifts.
