14 DAY TRIAL // Ubisoft has deployed a wide range of new details concerning the upcoming Rainbow 6: Patriots title, the next installment in its tactical first person shooter series, showcasing all of its features.
The Rainbow Six series has differentiated itself from other shooters by emphasizing the tactical nature of combat, with players leading a counter-terrorist unit that needs to infiltrate various locations and take down the bad guys.
In Rainbow Six: Patriots, Team Rainbow is now put up against the “True Patriots”, a terrorist organization that wants to use the growing unrest of regular Americans against their government to their own purposes.
“Led by a calculating figurehead named Tredway, this grassroots, homespun, terrorist organization will stop at nothing to overthrow the government and financial institutions to reclaim their country. Capturing the reality of modern-day terrorism, players will take on the role of a new Team Rainbow member as they face critical scenarios that will require them to make tough ethical decisions in order to stop this new breed of terrorists.”
Ubisoft also presented the list of features that will be a part of the new Rainbow 6: Patriots title, which includes a whole new narrative told from multiple points of view, better squad management and combat options, as well as an improved multiplayer experience.
Check out all the new features in the upcoming Rainbow 6 title below.
- Unprecedented Narrative – Patriots’ storyline explores an ultra-realistic what-if scenario inspired by real events and characters. The game will allow players to experience events from multiple perspectives creating an unprecedented level of immersion. - A New Threat For A New Team - Terrorism has evolved and Team Rainbow must face an organized militia of home-grown insurgents. As the leader of a new squad, players will wrestle with difficult ethical decisions and determine if the doing-whatever-it-takes mentality is needed to stop the enemy. - Enhanced Squad Management - At the press of a button, the Rainbow squad will perform the most efficient and deadly tactic given the context of the situation. When extreme measures are required, or when players call for it, you can take full control of your squad to plan the perfect assault. - Evolved Combat – The game’s combat techniques have been pushed to the next level with cover and weapon systems redesigned to accommodate every combat situation. New Rappel and Breach mechanics are now enriched with multiple new techniques including Wall & Ceiling Breach, Fast Rope Rappel, inverted ‘Aussie Style Rappel’, Infiltrate & Subdue, to name a few. - Intense Multiplayer Experience - Players will be rewarded for working as a team and mastering the game’s new features that enhance communication and tactical execution between teammates. Once such feature found in the pre-game online lobby is the Sandtable, a holographic display that helps acquaint players with the level maps before they jump into the action. This will help players strategically coordinate attacks and add a new dimension to squad tactics. - Surprise and Overpower Enemies – Utilize the game’s new Scan mode to strategically breach and infiltrate areas. This new tool will provide a thermal read on the situation, allowing you to determine the squad’s best course to overwhelm and defeat enemies. Rainbow Six: Patriots still doesn’t have a concrete release date, however, so it’s unclear when players might be able to try it out.
