In spite of the fact that Siege's multiplayer showings were more than well received, hardcore fans of the series had been begging Ubisoft to show off some of the classic modes that made Rainbow such a popular franchise in the first place - and they more than delivered this time around. Not only were the audience treated to a cinematic trailer involving the world-renowned Angela Bassett as the director of team Rainbow's operations, they were also shown an intricate demo showing off the newly revamped 'Terrorist Hunt' mode - though under a slightly altered name in this latest iteration. Communication and teamwork are as vital as ever in Rainbow's latest outing, and Siege looks set to be the most intense entry yet. Despite the fact that the plot looks a tad on the mundane side just from that one trailer, everything else about the game - from the dialogue to the tactical gameplay the series prides itself upon - looks perfect, and will no doubt prove itself to be a worthy addition to the Tom Clancy videogame saga come its release. Fans won't have to wait too long to get their hands on the game however, with the beta expected to drop on September 24th this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQmwgf-HZiM
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
