RAINBOW SIX SIEGE MEMES PRO
eSports organization ESL and Ubisoft would also announce Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Pro League, a new global tournament for pro Siege players. This was originally doubted by management, though they would later agree with the approach. For Siege, Ubisoft adopted a "game as a service" approach, where they would provide long-term support for the game and offer post-release content to keep players engaged. Shortly following its release, the game would receive a number of bug-fixes and tweaks on matchmaking and game mechanics. On December 1st, the game was officially released for Xbox One, PS4, and PC, featuring 20 operators and 11 maps to choose from. (trailer shown below) A closed alpha period would last from April 7–13, 2015, followed by a closed beta period starting from September 24th, which would change to an open beta on November 26th. The game was announced by Ubisoft during their E3 2014 press conference (trailer shown below) and was set for release in October 2015, though it would be later pushed to December of 2015.

ĭevelopment began in 2013 with Ubisoft Montreal developing it along with assistance from Ubisoft Barcelona, Ubisoft Toronto, Ubiosft Kiev, Ubisoft Shanghai, and Ubisoft Chengdu. The team also consulted various counter terrorist units such as the French GIGN unit for how they would react in a hostage rescue situation. Though they knew how games like this played and worked, they also took inspiration from various counter terrorist operations in the past such as the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege, the 1997 Lufthansa Flight 181 hijacking, and the 2002 Moscow Nord-Ost siege in order to assure accuracy in procedures.
RAINBOW SIX SIEGE MEMES SERIES
The team was comprised of longtime players of the Rainbow Six series and first person shooter veterans. Īfter the cancellation of Patriots, Ubisoft assembled a new team to come up with ideas to reboot the series. The game would go into development hell and later be cancelled in 2014 for a number of reasons, ranging the general quality of the game not being up to par to the need to make a game that could take advantage of the eighth console generation's hardware. Patriots was supposed to have more of an emphasis on narrative rather than gameplay, and would feature a large amount of cutscenes and scripted events. Originally, the next entry in the series was supposed to be Rainbow 6: Patriots, announced in 2011 (trailer shown below). Rainbow Six Siege was developed as the next entry of the Rainbow Six franchise by Ubisoft.
