As the Rainbow Six: Siege beta goes live a bit of bad news slips in- there won’t be a story mode. While there will be a single-player training mode, once you’re past this zone you’ll be pushed more into PvP and multiplayer situations.
At EGX2015, Siege’s art director Scott Mitchell elaborated, “There is no story mode per se, you go through training, where you get to experience different operators and their devices. You can play against enemy AI in co-op through all the maps. You can customise matches, so that’s what we’re offering on the single-player side of things” He continued, “It’s a pretty good training ground, and on top or that you’re unlocking the same content as you would playing in PvP. You’re still gaining Stars, Renown Points, and new operatives”
The news comes as a bit of a let down following the franchise’s strong co-op experiences during the Vegas run, but given the showing that’s been offered up so far for Siege, it might not be the biggest deal breaker, but it’s still something that feels off compared to what the franchise has previously been.
