For the first time in a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six game, players will engage in sieges, a new style of assault where enemies have the means to transform their environments into modern strongholds while Rainbow Six teams lead the assault to breach the enemy’s position. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position - by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire, deployable shields and mines, and more - or breach the enemies’ using observation drones, sheet charges, rappelling, and more. The fast pace, lethality and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege also features a technological breakthrough that redefines the way players interact with a game environment. 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. This advance allows players to leverage destruction in meaningful ways. Walls can be shattered, opening new lines of fire. Ceilings and floors can be breached to create new access points. This ability to modify the level design in real time enables players to create new gameplay opportunities directly within the game level.

This year’s Halloween event will last one week, beginning today, October 25th, ending on Halloween night, Wednesday October 31st. In this new Playlist, players will have to choose between five attackers (Ash, Thermite, Buck, Hibana and Finka),  five defenders (Mira, Vigil, Valkyrie, Jager, and Pulse), all available in Halloween skins, and try to defeat the opposite team in a revisited Halloween version of the iconic map “House”. The Crimsonveil Collection will introduce brand new skins for five new operators. Additionally, classic 2017 Halloween skins are once again available for a limited time.

The “Mad House” Event includes the new “Trick or treat” Ubisoft Club Challenge that allows players to earn one Crimsonveil pack if they achieve 30 kills while playing the Mad House map and a second pack if they manage to reach 60 kills. In addition, any players that log-in between October 25th and November 5th will receive one free pack.

Alongside this limited-time event, the Crimsonveil Collection will be available for purchase from Thursday October 25th to Sunday November 5th. This limited-time Halloween themed collection will offer players 22 exclusive* cosmetic items for Operators Finka, Jager, Thermite, Valkyrie, and Vigil and can be obtained by purchasing the Crimsonveil Pack at a cost of 300 R6 credit per pack.

Key Features

• Counter terrorist operatives are trained to handle extreme situations, such as hostage rescue, with surgical precision. As “short range” specialists, their training is concentrated on indoor environments. Operating in tight formations, they are experts of close quarter combat, demolition, and coordinated assaults.
• For the first time in Rainbow Six, players will engage in sieges, a brand-new style of assault. Enemies now have the means to transform their environments into strongholds: they can trap, fortify, and create defensive systems to prevent breach by Rainbow teams. To face this challenge, players have a level of freedom unrivaled by any previous Rainbow Six game. Combining tactical maps, observation drones, and a new rappel system, Rainbow teams have more options than ever before to plan, attack, and diffuse these situations.
• Destruction is at the heart of the siege gameplay. Leveraging Ubisoft Montreal’s proprietary Realblast engine, players now have the unprecedented ability to destroy environments. Walls can be shattered, opening new lines of fire, and ceiling and floors can be breached, creating new access points. Everything in the environment reacts realistically, dynamically, and uniquely based on the size and caliber of bullets you are using or the amount of explosives you have set. In Rainbow Six Siege, destruction is meaningful and mastering it is often the key to victory.
