Ubisoft Announces Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile

Given the increasing popularity of mobile games and countless major franchises making the jump to mobile, it shouldn't be a surprise to see that Ubisoft is joining the bandwagon with Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Mobile. The game has been in development for over 3 years and is getting ready for beta playtesting with a playtest launching in the coming weeks.

There's quite a few major mobile FPS games launching soon now including Apex Legends Mobile and Rainbow Six Mobile. Call of Duty made the jump last year with Call of Duty Mobile. Valorant mobile is in the works as well and in the near future we can expect every major FPS franchise to have a mobile version.

At first glance, many people might see Rainbow Six Mobile and think it looks incredibly similar to Siege, which is great! At its heart, Rainbow Six Mobile is a competitive and tactical FPS game with two teams of 5 – Attackers and Defenders. While the core gameplay, characters, and maps may share similarities with Siege, we’ve rebuilt everything from the ground up with mobile usability in mind. We have put a lot of work under the hood to adapt the Siege experience for mobile devices. This includes an entirely new gameplay control system developed specifically for mobile and extensive optimization of the UI and in-game visual presentation.

Finally, we wanted to say a word to the Siege fans out there: our goal is not to have you stop playing on PC or console and switch to mobile. We know there is nothing like the adrenaline rush of a close Siege match on the big screen or the precision of a mouse and keyboard. Since we can’t carry our monitors with us everywhere, Rainbow Six Mobile will give you the opportunity to play the game you love in short, accessible bursts, while also enabling millions of new players to get the R6 experience. -Devblog
