10 Video Games That Could Sell Millions As A Different Genre

In the Rainbow Six series, the titular group is an elite team of international special forces operatives who participate in "blacker than black" operations. Generally it has been a first-person shooter series, with Rainbow Six: Siege being the latest entry.

Imagine a tactical 3rd person shooter like a similar entry in the Arma series of games - you control a fire team of four operatives in battlefield situations. But you would also control the entire team of ten operatives in a situation akin to XCom, or the 2018 indie title Phantom Doctrine.

Players would operate as the ranking officer of the Rainbow teams, or the Rainbow Director, and have to control recruitment, training, management, and assignments of the rainbow team members. Give the various operatives personality quirks to navigate for some strategic options.

Maybe your Israeli grenadier isn't a fan of your German marksman who's grandfather killed the Israeli's grandparents at Dauchaw? Maybe your American demolitions expert was a huge "Freedom-Fries" kind of guy and hates your French corpsman? Mitigate these issues by sending your diverse teams around the world based on how well they get along and how their skillsets match up.

Ubisoft could even use the scrapped story from the game that eventually became Siege - "Patriots". Or an entirely new story involving an international terrorist organization that the player would have to bring down, quietly and strategically.
