Why it matters

Ubisoft takes Rainbow Six back to the planning the first game was built on, after two decades in which the name meant competitive shooters.

About Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Tactics

Ubisoft Paris is taking Rainbow Six somewhere the brand has not been in two decades. Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Tactics is a single-player turn-based tactics game, closer in shape to XCOM than to Siege, in which you direct squads of operators through coordinated breaches, exploit destructible cover and unpick a conspiracy. Operators familiar from the shooters return as units. The first Rainbow Six games in the late 1990s were built on planning a raid before executing it, and this is a deliberate return to that idea in a different genre.

Ubisoft revealed the game at Gamescom's Opening Night Live in August 2026 and has pointed at 2027 without committing to a date. It is planned for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with Ubisoft+ access and cloud streaming through GeForce Now and Blacknut. A closed test has been announced and players can register for it, which usually means a playable build already exists. For a series that has meant competitive multiplayer for most of a generation, the single-player focus is the real news.
