De fans van de Rainbox Six franchise hebben zes jaar moeten wachten op een nieuw deel in de serie. Deze komt er nu aan onder de naam Siege, en daar van konden we gisteren al een behoorlijk indrukwekkende gameplay demo zien. Vandaag dropte Ubisoft de onderstaande screens online, en de dit persbericht die ons ook meer verteld overde Realblast technologie die zorgt dat echt heel je omgeving naar de klote kan.

Nestled at the core of the siege concept is the realistic destruction granted by Ubisoft Montreal's new Realblast technology. The attackers vs defenders idea can be boiled down to destruction vs fortification. While the defenders are reinforcing walls and floors and laying down traps, the attackers will be scouting ahead and using teamwork to blast these best-laid plans to hell.

"Destruction is at the center of our experience and it certainly brings brand new tactical advantages to the franchise," Witts explains. "No longer are players confined to breaching doors and windows to get the drop on enemies. Observe weak points in enemy defenses and breach through walls and floors to exploit them. The Realblast destruction engine is at the center of the Siege gameplay experience and enhances the tactical play that Rainbow fans know and love."

If we're standing on one side of a wall and our drone tells us there's someone directly on the other side, we can open up a new line of sight right next to them and catch them by surprise. As we saw in the demo, this also allows for a sniper outside of the building to have a clear line of sight into the interior.
