#Rainbow six siege single player full#
The AI co-op mode Mitchell is talking about is called TerrorHunt, and tasks a team of five human players to breach and clear a location full of a few dozen computer controlled terrorists. You can customise matches, so that’s what we’re offering on the single-player side of things. You can play against enemy AI in co-op through all the maps. There is no story mode per se, You go through training, where you get to experience different operators and their devices. This is because, as clarified by Ubisoft recently, Siege will not have a narrative story mode of any kind.Īrt director Scott Mitchell told PCGamesN at EGX this past weekend:
Whether or not this is a continuation of the previous Rainbow Six timeline is unknown though, and kind of a moot point either way. In response, a new Six (the codename given to the leader of Rainbow) is tasked with reactivating the organization, recruiting a team pulled from the world’s foremost law enforcement agencies and special forces units, including the British SAS, Russian Spetsnaz, and US FBI-Swat. However, a new terrorist threat known as the White Masks emerges, with no clear goals or motives for their deadly attacks. In Siege, the Rainbow unit exists as we saw it in previous games (as a multinational counter-terrorism force), but for whatever reason, it’s been disbanded. So will Siege continue the Rainbow Six story or not? Was it a teaser for a story mode? The intro to the game? Footage created just for E3? We had no idea.įinally though, as the Siege closed beta prepares to wrap up, we’ve gotten an answer on Siege‘s singleplayer features. However, Ubisoft did not comment on what exactly this video represented. We saw a short teaser at E3 earlier this summer (featuring none other than actress Angela Bassett), that seemed to set up a pretty strong story premise. So far though, Ubisoft has not been very clear on whether or not it would feature a narrative, or if it would be a multiplayer-only experience. What’s next for the Rainbow Six universe?Īfter more than seven years of waiting, the next entry in the series, Siege , is set to arrive in just a few short months. Almost every Rainbow Six game to date has featured a story mode of some kind, forming a loose continuity that begins with the original in 1998, and continuing through the end of Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 in 2008.
