Rainbow Six Tactics Brings 15 Siege Operators to Turn-Based PC, Xbox Missions

3 articles · Updated · Xbox.com · Aug 25

Summary

  • Gamescom’s reveal positioned Rainbow Six Tactics as a single-player command game where players lead up to four Operators through global missions from HQ planning to field execution.
  • Creative Director Elie Benhamou said Rainbow Six’s core of intel, planning and coordinated breaches made the shift from FPS to turn-based play a natural fit.
  • 15 Operators drawn from Siege bring signature gadgets, abilities and skill trees, while destructible environments let players open sightlines, smash cover and create new entry points.
  • The Breach mechanic briefly breaks turn order so all active Operators can storm an area at once, aiming to preserve Siege-style tension inside a slower tactical format.
  • The campaign spans dozens of missions including hostage rescues, bomb disposal and target elimination, adding another tactical chapter to Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six franchise ahead of a 2027 launch.
