Many popular shooters have become popular on mobile, including Fortnite, Call of Duty, and now Apex Legends. Is Rainbow Six Siege going to be next?
Sort of.
Ubisoft recently announced that there was going to be a Tom Clancy game on mobile. But it's not Rainbow Six Siege Mobile, just Rainbow Six Mobile. What does this mean?
Rainbow Six Mobile is similar to Rainbow Six Siege in many ways, including variations of the popular operators and maps from the FPS. The gameplay is shaping up to be pretty similar as well. But developers have made it clear that Rainbow Six Mobile isn't Rainbow Six Siege for your phone — it's a different experience.
"While the core gameplay, characters, and maps may share similarities with Siege, we’ve rebuilt everything from the ground up with mobile usability in mind. We have put a lot of work under the hood to adapt the Siege experience for mobile devices. This includes an entirely new gameplay control system developed specifically for mobile and extensive optimization of the UI and in-game visual presentation," developers said.
