Rainbow: Six Siege Launch Date Revealed

Break through on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC this October.

Ubisoft has announced that its strategic team-based military shooter, Rainbow: Six Siege will be released on October 13. The game, which will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, is developed by Ubisoft Montreal.

"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 position," Ubisoft explains.

Also recently Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot praised the game's potential during a recent call with investors.

"Over its lifetime, we believe Rainbow Six: Siege has the potential to become the highest-selling shooter in Ubisoft's history."

CFO Alain Martine pointed out that Rainbow Six games traditionally sell about three million units, "versus Far Cry [4] that this year has exceeded seven million."

"We believe that Rainbow Six--because of replayability and multiplayer--might have a potential to [do] better than Far Cry over its lifetime," Martine added.
