Ubisoft Rainbow 6 website

Ubisoft is one of the multitude of developers to take advantage of this year's holiday rush. "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege," one of the renowned game studio's copious projects, will be released on Oct. 13. The upcoming first-person shooter revivifies the holed up action-packed tactical shooter series. 

The game will set players against terrorists in explosive encounters based on real life counter-terrorism operations. Players will be hurled into gripping, fast-paced missions that require them to destroy the enemy's line of defense. Ubisoft made this exciting experience possible and optimal by giving gamers the ability to raze the environment, allowing them to wreck walls and smash ceilings and floorboards with weapons, such as high-capacity firearms and gas bombs, especially designed to do the job.

The game is grounded on teamplay although single-player missions will also be there for those who want to do things solo. The inclusion of the mode is Ubisoft's way of acknowledging the wishes of its gamers and fans. 

The first-person shooter will be available to play on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Those who pre-order the game will gain access to the multiplayer beta. Unfortunately, it is still unknown when this beta will take place. 

Apart from the announcement on the release date, the special collector's edition for "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" was also detailed. Here is Ubisoft's description on the title's three flavors:
