Last week, we reported that Ubisoft is rumored to be working with WeGame (Tencent) to bring the popular PC and console tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege to mobile devices. Now, Ubisoft has officially unveiled the game with an announcement trailer featuring a mix of in-engine cinematics and gameplay footage from mobile.

The game, dubbed Rainbow Six Mobile is currently in the pre-alpha stage, so it won’t be launching anytime soon, but Ubisoft has started sending out invites to existing players of Rainbow Six Siege PC and console via email.

Interested players can also head over to the official Rainbow Six Mobile website to register with their preferred platform and get a chance to participate in the testing phase of the game. Players can register on either Android or iOS. Players will need to create a Ubisoft Account or log in with an already-existing account in order to register.

From the looks of the announcement trailer, the game appears to retain the same mechanics, gunplay, gadgets, and abilities which are currently present in the PC and console versions. The trailer also reveals the Bank map which appears to be exactly the same as the PC version. As we know, Rainbow Six Siege has a steep learning curve and demands precision aiming skills, so it will be interesting to see whether the game is able to take off in a big way with mobile audiences.

Other than that, the official Ubisoft website has revealed that in its current state, the game will have two maps, Bank and Border. The current roster of Rainbox Six Mobile includes operators Ash, Sledge, Twitch, Thermite, and Hibana on the Attacker side and Smoke, Bandit, Valkyrie, Caveira, and Mute on the defender side. The game is expected to introduce more operators and maps as the game progresses through the development stages.
