About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege

Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organizations, Tom Clancy’s
Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter
confrontations. For the first time in a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six game,
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’s position. Tom
Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege gives players unprecedented control over
their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors,
using barbed wire and deployable shields, laying mines and more, or to
breach the enemies’ position using observation drones, setting charges,
rappelling and more. The fast pace and uniqueness of each siege sets a
new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive
gaming.
