has announced Tom Clany’s Rainbow Six Mobile, a new free-to-play first person shooter for iOS and Android that’s basically Rainbow Six Siege in all but name.
The main mode of Rainbow Six Mobile is called Attack vs Defense and involves 5v5 matches, where defenders get to barricade entry points and set traps and attacks have to use drones to scope out the map and then breach destructible walls, floors, and ceilings.
In other words it’s Rainbow Six Siege on a touchscreen, although the weird key art above does look more like a game than a serious military shooter.
To underline the links between the two games, Rainbow Six Mobile will reintroduce iconic maps from Rainbow Six Siege, such as Bank and Border.
It will also add popular PvP game modes such as Secure Area and Bomb, as well as unspecified exclusive modes.
The operators confirmed so far are also all from Siege, including attackers Ash, Sledge, Twitch, Thermite, and Hibana, plus defenders Caveira, Bandit, Smoke, Valkyrie, and Mute.
