Ubisoft is reportedly working on a turn-based Rainbow Six game. The unannounced title has been compared to XCOM and is said to be quite far into development.
This is according to Insider Gaming, which quotes two sources who claim to have knowledge of the project. They describe the new Rainbow Six game as having a top-down view, similar to Diablo and XCOM, as opposed to the shooter gameplay we're used to in all the other installments.
Gameplay-wise, the gist of it is compared to Rainbow Six: Siege, as the game will still revolve around saving hostages and choosing which operator to play as. However, with the turn-based element, actually going on these missions could feel very different. The sources add that the game is around 25-30 hours long, so it wouldn't hog up as much of your time as Rainbow Six Siege.
“Just watch some XCOM gameplay if you want to get an idea," one of the sources describes. "I’d say it’s an updated version of that with cinematic cutscenes and so on."
Rainbow Six Siege's new mode kickstarts an exciting new era for the game.
