As part of the features revealed during the Year 8 panel, Rainbow Six Siege is set to add a new AI-based training playlist for all players to use.
The addition will arrive in the fourth in-game season, Y8S4, and will be designed to help players to simulate an actual match experience, learn the maps, and get used to the in-game movement.
The training playlist will be different from Training Grounds, which features a fairly static environment in which players have to fight terrorists. Instead, this new playlist will be Machine Learning powered and will initially allow the player to learn how to attack against defending AI.
Some time later, presumably in Year 9, this will be expanded to allow players to play as defenders against attacking AI.
This feature follows similar features such as in the 2021 title Halo Infinite, which features bots that are able to simulate a player’s movement, decision making, and skill levels.
It also comes in the pursuit of increased ease of onboarding new players, but the playlist should also be a great warmup tool for experienced players and maybe even pros.
