The upcoming Rainbow Six spin-off, Rainbow Six Tactics, will feature permadeath. Gamers will have to plan carefully and strategize in order to make the most of their campaigns in the new Rainbow Six game.

Rainbow Six Tactics was announced just a short time ago at Gamescom Opening Night Live. The next entry in the franchise will be a deviation from the usual formula, as this entry will be turn-based and single-player. Players will be able to use just 15 of the Operators from Rainbow Six Siege's massive roster, and the limited options will make permadeath all the more difficult.

Ubisoft launches a game, but fans who were eager to buy it get an unpleasant surprise when they discover they didn't get the game at all.

In a chat between Martial Potron, Rainbow Six Tactics game director, and IGN, the director took the opportunity to talk about the game's permadeath. Calling it a "must-have" for fans of the tactical game genre, he explained that Rainbow Six Tactics does include permadeath, but the feature is optional. Permadeath will be available across all difficulty levels, and the feature will mean planning carefully when sending out squads. If the feature is enabled and a Rainbow Six Operator is too injured during the campaign, they'll be permanently unavailable for the remainder of it, leaving players to work with whoever they have left. Since each Operator is unique, losing a valuable member early on could make further outings much more difficult.

Potron went into further detail regarding the game as a whole, particularly with the pivot from shooter to tactics game.
