Ubisoft’s UbiBlog now offers an Inside Rainbow #2 trailer from Rainbow Six: Siege showing off the FBI SWAT operators in the upcoming installment in the Tom Clancy shooter series. Here’s the accompanying blurb:

Servare Vitas. The Rainbow Six Siege Operators from the FBI SWAT CTU don’t mess around, especially when it comes to explosives. All four Operators deal increased explosive damage thanks to their backgrounds and explosives training. Attackers Ash and Thermite both have very destructive breaching tools, while Defenders Castle and Pulse are built to withstand and avoid these attacks. Castle is geared up with heavy duty kevlar barricades and Pulse can literally see through walls with his heartbeat sensor. Learn more about the four American Operators in the second entry in the Inside Rainbow series, and take a closer look at all ten of the Operators who have been revealed so far in this in-depth feature.

Much to my chagrin, Rainbow Six: Siege went completely dark following its jaw-dropping, IGN Best of Show-winning E3 2014 reveal. So to say I was excited to see it again after a nine-month wait is an understatement. And after getting to spend several hours with the upcoming closed alpha build on PC, my enthusiasm for the tense, tactical, trash-everything first-person shooter has not diminished. But I have a few concerns as well.

A new trailer for Rainbow Six: Siege shows off the game’s tactically destructible environments.

Set for release on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2015, Siege is described as a co-op multiplayer-focused game in which hostage-taking criminals have the means to transform their environments into strongholds, while Rainbow Six teams lead assaults to breach them.

Ubisoft announced the latest entry in the Rainbow Six series during its E3 2014 stage show in June.

Producer Sebastien Labbe has hinted that the studio may launch a Rainbow Six: Siege beta ahead of the game’s release next year:

“What I can say is that for sure, we’re no different from the other online shooters. We want to be online – we’re providing a strong PVP game, and if we want that we need to create a community. So if we wait until the launch, I expect it will be too late.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot explained the difficult decision to transform the long-delayed Rainbow Six: Patriots into Siege in an E3 interview.

Ubisoft has announced the development of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, the latest in the best-selling Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six franchise. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will be available in 2015 on PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system, Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC.

Development of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is being led by Ubisoft Montreal. Inspired by real world counter-terrorist organizations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarters 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, deployable shields and mines, and more – or breach the enemies’ using observation drones, sheet charges, rappelling, and more. The fast pace, lethality and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege also features a technological breakthrough that redefines the way players interact with a game environment. Leveraging Ubisoft Montreal’s proprietary Realblast engine, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege incorporates procedural destruction that is realistic and unscripted, meaning the environment reacts authentically, distinctively and dynamically, based on variables like the caliber of bullets or the amount of explosives used. This advance allows players to leverage destruction in meaningful ways. Walls can be shattered, opening new lines of fire. Ceilings and floors can be breached to create new access points. This ability to modify the level design in real time enables players to create new gameplay opportunities directly within the game level.
