A New Single-Player Tactical Game Set in the Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Universe
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – August 26, 2026 – Today, during Opening Night Live, Ubisoft announced Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Tactics, a new single-player, turn-based tactical game set in the Rainbow Six universe. The game will be available on Ubisoft+*, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, GeForce Now, and PC through Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
For the first time in the franchise, players step into the role of Six, commander of the Rainbow unit, and lead elite teams of up to four operators through high-stakes assignments, from strategic preparation at HQ to tactical execution in the field. Built around careful planning, coordinated breaches, and the need to adapt as missions unfold, Rainbow Six Tactics captures the core DNA of Rainbow Six while introducing a new way to experience its iconic operators.
Developed by Ubisoft Paris, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Tactics unfolds alongside the ongoing Rainbow Six Siege timeline, as a new global threat pushes Team Rainbow to operate on a broader strategic scale. From Rainbow’s headquarters, players assess intelligence, assign operators, upgrade their base of operations, and make the decisions that shape each mission before sending their squad into the field. Once deployed, turn-based encounters challenge them to combine operator abilities, reconnaissance tools, gadgets, and destructible environments to outmaneuver enemy forces.
At the heart of the experience is a loop that moves players between global command and tactical execution: selecting missions, preparing the right operators, resolving turn-based encounters, then returning to HQ to train the team, review intel, and strengthen Rainbow’s capabilities for the next operation.
Drawing from a roster of 15 operators from Rainbow Six Siege, players will build squads of four operators tailored to their preferred approach. Each operator brings unique abilities, specialized gadgets, and distinct skill trees, encouraging experimentation and strategic team composition. Rainbow Six Tactics’ campaign features dozens of missions set in diverse locations around the globe, and every operation brings its own challenges and opportunities. Hostage rescue, bomb disposal, target elimination, reaching every objective demands careful preparation, tactical improvisation, and precise execution. Players can break walls to open new lines of sight, remove enemy cover, and create alternate entry points as the situation evolves. The Breach feature builds on this foundation as a decisive tactical moment: a synchronized assault that breaks the turn-based rhythm and lets all operators act at once as they storm a new area by surprise, combining operator abilities with environmental destruction in explosive Rainbow Six fashion.
With today’s reveal at Opening Night Live, Rainbow Six Tactics offers a first look at a new tactical chapter for the series, combining strategic depth, global stakes, and turn-based gameplay with the planning, precision, and teamwork that define Rainbow Six.
The game is now available to Wishlist on PC through Ubisoft Connect, Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. It will also be available on Ubisoft+ and GeForce Now at launch.
Developed by Ubisoft Montreal* and with more than 100 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer experience grounded in the selection of unique Operators. Using the right mix of tactics and destruction, Rainbow Six teams engage their enemies in sieges, where both Attackers and Defenders have exclusive skills and gadgets at their disposal.
*Associate Ubisoft studios include Barcelona, Blue Byte, Bucharest, Kyiv, Reflections, Saguenay, Shanghai, Chendgu and Toronto

The Legendary Turn-Based Strategy Classic Returns in 2027 featuring Upgraded 3D Visuals, Modernised Gameplay, and UGC Compatibility
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – 26 August 2026 – Today, during Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Ubisoft announced Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake, a modern reimagining of the critically acclaimed turn-based strategy classic. Developed by Ubisoft China studios in Chengdu and Shanghai*, the game will launch in 2027 on Ubisoft+, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC through Ubisoft Connect, Steam, and the Epic Games Store.
Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake offers endless hours of epic adventure, elevating the original’s timeless gameplay to modern standards and delivering its iconic blend of turn-based strategy, RPG hero progression, and tactical grid combat. Building on that foundation, the remake introduces a range of quality-of-life improvements and new features, such as enhanced planning and decision-making tools, making for a more intuitive experience while staying faithful to the original.
Rebuilt from the ground up in Ubisoft’s Snowdrop engine, Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake trades the original’s fixed 2D isometric perspective for a highly detailed 3D world and free camera control. Paired with 4K visuals, dynamic lighting, real-time weather, and shifting seasons, this visual overhaul breathes new life into Erathia’s classic biomes and battlefields for both newcomers and returning fans.
Across these living landscapes, players will join Queen Catherine on her crusade to restore order to her kingdom, torn apart by her father’s assassination and the onslaught of invading factions. Packed with the entire content of the original game and its two expansions: Armageddon’s Blade and The Shadow of Death, Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake includes all nine iconic factions and original campaigns. The entire story is now woven into a single continuous experience, complemented by a new introductory prologue campaign easing players into the world and gameplay, and a new suite of fully produced cinematics.
Playable solo or with up to eight players in a revamped online mode, improved matchmaking and a simultaneous turn system, the game also sees the return of the fan-favorite Hot Seat mode.
“Heroes of Might and Magic III Remake is our way of highlighting the rich legacy of the 1999 original and updating that experience for a new generation of players,” said Xavier Poix, Senior Vice President, Ubisoft, who leads the studios behind the game’s development. “The remake gave us the perfect foundation to expand upon an already beloved game while setting the stage for the franchise’s next chapter.”
Honouring the franchise’s deep community roots, the remake preserves compatibility with thousands of maps and campaigns created by players over the past 25 years, allowing fans to revisit the community’s rich legacy from day one. Updated editor tools and a new in-game UGC hub will also make it easier than ever to discover, download, and share community-created content.
As players traverse through different Maps, they will be greeted by a modern audio system, featuring voice acting, layered tracks, and rich, ambient sound effects, drawing them deeper into the game’s atmospheric world. New sonic cues tied to gameplay actions, including combat, spellcasting, and morale shifts, reinforce the feel of the original game while striking a delicate balance between nostalgia and modernity, perfectly encapsulating the tone of the remake.
Alongside today’s announcement, Ubisoft revealed that Heroes of Might and Magic III Complete is now available for purchase on Steam, marking the first time the Complete version of the original classic has been released on the platform.
*Associate Ubisoft studios include Paris and Montpellier.

In the trailer, enormous guardians called Weapons emerge to defend a world in crisis. Making no distinction between friend and foe, the Weapons wreak catastrophic destruction upon the planet and its people. Upon desert sands, in mid-air dogfights and at the bottom of the sea, Cloud and his fellow heroes must stand against the colossal Weapons even as they toil to save the world from Sephiroth. A late-game element of the original FINAL FANTASY VII, the Weapons return in reimagined glory as standout battles in FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION, some of which appear in ultra-challenging endgame battles as an homage to their original forms.

The final battle has begun. Everything leads here. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION delivers the unforgettable, breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history and the culmination of 30 years of FINAL FANTASY VII storytelling.
In the game, the entire planet is freely explorable via the Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and the Weapons unleashing terror, the planet’s conflicts are many, and the party will need to divide and conquer. Choose where to go, who to help and in what order as the planet itself fights for survival. Make one last stand alongside a beloved cast of legendary heroes, making decisions along the journey that can impact aspects of their stories. Customize combat by switching between real-time action and Tactical Mode in the series’ acclaimed hybrid battle system, now expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.
