Rainbow Six Tactics is XCOM With Agents and Permadeath | gamescom 2026

Team Rainbow is taking a break from tactical FPS action to take on a new frontier, that of the turn-based tactical genre of XCOM! The first time since 2008 that Ubisoft have developed a single-player Rainbow Six game, we sat down with Martial Potron, Game Director and Elie Benhamou, Creative Director to get the juicy details. We get to chat how Tactics adapts the Rainbow Six DNA to the turn-based tactics genre, what they did to make this unmistakably Rainbow Six and how they adapted Siege’s operators to this new style – and how they can die forever! If you’re eager to brave this new tactical frontier, lock and load as Rainbow Six Tactics launches on PlayStation 5 (PS5), PC (Ubisoft Connect, Steam) and Xbox Series X|S in 2027!
