Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Video Game Series

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six is a series of tactical first-person perspective (FPP) shooters based on a novel written by Tom Clancy. The series was started by the Red Storm studio with publishing from Ubisoft, and for many years the studio was responsible for the main installments of the series; the change of producer came after part of the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown from 2005.Further development of the brand was handled by other development teams from under the wings of Ubisoft.

The first game in the series: Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six was released in 1998, shortly after the release of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The title was originally released for PC, but due to considerable interest among gamers it also lived to see ports intended for Nintendo 64 and PlayStation consoles (1999), as well as DreamCast and Game Boy Color (2000). In 1999, a new installment of the series hit store shelves - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, was released for PC and PlayStation and DreamCast consoles; just a year later, an add-on was released for it Urban Operations (2000), which came to PC and DreamCast minus PlayStation. The years 2000 and 2001 brought three products in the series that premiered only on PC. Two standalone expansions for Rogue Spear with the subtitles Covert Ops Essentials and Black Thorn, and released only in South Korea Rainbow Six: Take-Down - Missions in Korea. For the full-fledged third installment - Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield - fans had to wait until 2003. It was released on PC and Xbox, PS2 and GameCube consoles, as well as on cell phones. Interestingly, the console versions lost the subtitle Raven Shield and were marketed simply as Rainbow Six 3. Also this part was enhanced with add-ons: Athena Sword (2004), Black Arrow (2004) and Iron Wrath (2005). They are exclusive to personal computers, except for Black Arrow, which came exclusively to the Xbox platform. In 2003, players also got the first installment of the series aimed exclusively at cell phones, namely. Rainbow Six: Broken Wings, followed a year later by another one subtitled Urban Crisis. A new chapter in the history of the series opened with the game Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Lockdown released in 2005 on PS2, Xbox and GameCube consoles, and in 2006 on PC. It introduced a number of changes in gameplay mechanics (including, controversially for many fans, the abandonment of tactical mission planning) and was Red Storm studio's farewell to the series. Subsequent installments of the series were prepared by other Ubisoft development studios, including Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Quebec. In 2006, as an exclusive title for the Xbox console, was released Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Critical Hour. The same year also saw the development of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas, coming to PC and X360, while in 2007 it was released for PS3 and PSP. Just a year later, gamers could enjoy the sequel to Vegas, more specifically Vegas 2. The title had a simultaneous release on PC, PS3 and X360. After a 3-year hiatus, in 2011, the series came with another fully mobile installment subtitled Shadow Vanguard. Fans had to wait 4 years for the next part of the series, as Rainbow Six Siege was created in 2015 and came simultaneously to PC, PS4 and XONE, while in 2020, on the occasion of the entry of the 9th generation of consoles (XSX and PS5), the game came to them as well. Siege is the first installment fully focused on multiplayer gameplay. In 2022, the following hit store shelves (physical and digital) Rainbow Six Extraction, which was released on PC and 8th and 9th generation consoles (PS4, PS5, XOne and XSX).

The next installment in the tactical shooter series Rainbow Six endorsed by the author Tom Clancy. The game was developed by Ubisoft Montreal Studio, known for bestsellers such as Watch_Dogs and the Assassin’s Creed franchise. The title is a spiritual successor to the previously announced Rainbow Six: Patriots, which was eventually canceled. The gameplay focuses on police special forces fighting terrorists, with emphasis on tactics and tactical position defense. Most missions take place in confined spaces, which – thanks to an advanced physics engine – can be completely destroyed. During combat, the two teams can shoot through or blow up walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as barricaded doors. Because of this, the situation on the battlefield changes dynamically, forcing the players to adjust their tactics and cooperate with teammates.

The third installment in a tactical action game series that originates back to 1998 and is based on Tom Clancy’s novels. Just like in the previous installments of the series, you are put in command of Rainbow, a fictional special forces unit invented by the writer, during its various military operations all over the world. This time, the tasks you are challenged with include destroying a biological weapon storage facility and cracking down on a gang terrorizing a bank in the heart of London. Gameplay mechanics are very similar to the proven solutions that have been used throughout the series, emphasizing tactical planning. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield offers some additional weapons and useful gadgets, as well as improved AI (of both enemies and your squad ). The biggest innovation, however, is the more advanced 3D graphics engine that had also been used in Unreal II.
