Today, Ubisoft revealed new features for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege that will debut at gamescom 2015 in Cologne, Germany.
Spectator Cam
With Spectator Cam, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege offers the possibility for an 11th player to participate in 5 vs. 5 multiplayer games as an observer and watch the match in real time. In addition to the traditional first-person view, Spectator Cam introduces Tactical View, an interactive viewpoint that allows players to automatically follow individual players over the map and observe all players, teams and objectives. Spectator Cam will offer players a real-time overview of team strategies and player tactics that will make watching multiplayer matches both entertaining and informative.
A beta form of Spectator Cam will be available for LAN and custom online games for Windows PC at launch on October 13 and for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system in early 2016.
