We are excited to announce that ESL and Ubisoft will be joining forces at gamescom to bring you a showcase of the upcoming installment of the Tom Clancy first-person shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, which will be coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on the 13th of October 2015.
The showcase, set to feature the game’s team-based tactical combat, variety of different classes and team roles and procedural destruction system, will take place in the ESL Arena at gamescom on Saturday the 8th of August at 16:00 CEST.
