‘Rainbow Six Siege’ Release Date & Gameplay: 10 Multiplayer Maps Coming, DLC Teased
Tom Clancy's "Rainbow Six: Siege" is one of the gaming community's most anticipated shooters and now Ubisoft revealed that players will be able to enjoy 11 playable maps in the game.
It was previously reported that the shooting game will feature 10 maps, until the developer clarified the number in a statement.
"At launch, 'Rainbow Six Siege' will have 11 maps, playable both day or night, all using the full potential of our Real Blast destruction technology. In addition, all post-launch maps will be downloadable for free. We want players to stay with us for the long term and have ambitious post-launch plans that we will detail at a later stage," a Ubisoft representative stated in an email, according to a report from PC Gamer.
Even better, PC Gamer's recent interview with level designer Benoit Deschamer reported that there are more expansions planned and "the team had come up with over 50 ideas for map settings for Rainbow Six: Siege, but had to whittle that number down to ten."
Players should be pumped to hear that the playable world is a vast one, and as previously mentioned by the representative, post-launch maps are free.
This is good news for fans after learning the release of "Rainbow Six: Siege" has been pushed back to December. Ubisoft announced the news on their official blog, citing the need for further adjustments based on user feedback and testing.
"Based on the feedback we've received, and based on our own internal tests, we felt there are adjustments and improvements we can make, including improving the co-op experience across all game modes, weapon and gadget balancing, as well as menu and interface navigation," Ubisoft explained in the statement.
The developer added, "We understand that many of you are excited to get your hands on the final game, but as gamers ourselves we know that quality comes first and we are committed to delivering the best game possible."
Although the release date was delayed, players can look forward to the exclusive beta coming at the end of the month. A previous report from Latin Post said that the beta is locked to most users, but players can gain access by participating in the interactive website "Rainbow Six: Siege's Art of Siege." The exercises on the site get players in shape for the actual game, and the rewards at the end of training include access to the beta.
"Rainbow Six: Siege" is available on Dec. 1, 2015. The game beta drops on Sept. 24, 2015.
