Rainbow Six: Siege forgoes a campaign mode, offers bots instead

Siege is a wholly unique R6 experience. Not only is it multiplayer-focused, but there’s nary a narrative to be found.

Yes, if you were waiting on some news about the single-player (or even co-op) campaign that will be featuring in Ubisoft’s upcoming Rainbow 6 title, well, you might want to stop. Official word has come down, via art director Scott Mitchell, that Siege will have no such thing.

According to Mitchell, there will be a training mode that will walk you through the various characters and their hardware, and you can definitely play against enemy bots in co-op format, but that’s it.

This shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to anyone, as Rainbow Six: Siege was touted as a co-operative, team based shooter right from the start. There us a history though, for the franchise working in some kind of story, even if it’s a little bare-bones, but that won’t be the case here.

Still, the game looks pretty great, and anyone looking for a little offline time can always sharpen their skills in the trainer or vs some bots, so that’s not a complete lack of SP. Siege is currently in closed beta, and will hit retail on December 1st.

Stay tuned for a full preview from us once the beta period closes.
