Rainbow Six Siege open beta starts next week

Called “Siege the Day”, the live-action trailer (posted below) is a “rapid-fire re-enactment” of Rainbow Six Siege‘s online multiplayer, with a counter-terrorist unit attempting to save a hostage from a location that is similar to one of the title’s maps, House.

When Idris Elba looks right into the camera and commands you to “Siege the Day”, it’s the most intimidating use of puns ever.

“Getting to work on a set with explosions and big destruction always adds an element of excitement”.

It’s been four years since the last installment of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six series, but now the popular first-person shooter is back in action with the upcoming release of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.

Players keen to try Ubisoft’s new Tom Clancy jam will get a chance with next week’s Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege open beta. Leveraging Ubisoft Montreal’s proprietary Realblast engine, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege incorporates procedural destruction that is realistic and unscripted, meaning the environment reacts authentically, distinctively and dynamically, based on variables like the caliber of bullets or the amount of explosives used.

Rainbow Six Siege will feature microtransactions, but the team has explained that all new content apart from purely cosmetic items can be earned through gameplay. “In the game, walls can be shattered; ceilings and floors can be breached to change how players experience the game”. The beta runs from the 25th of November until the 29th, so you will have a few days to get to know the game and decide if it’s for you.
