They’ll do anything to not make another Singleplayer Rainbow6 game.
Don’t bemoan this just yet. Ubisoft’s name on the game is a red flag as always, but they made a pretty sick turn-based tactics game in the Ghost Recon universe on the 3DS, from designer Julian Gollup, formerly of original XCOM fame, now working on a game called Chip 'n Clawz vs. the Brainioids.
Isn’t the “Rainbow Six Universe” just, like, the regular world? I haven’t played an R6 game in more than a decade, but I remember the draw being realism.
Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.

I knew that the success of BG3 would have an impact on the industry, it was only a matter of time. This sounds fun.

BG3? Not sure I am seeing the influence here.
If anything Firaxis’s take on XCOM has made turn based tactics somewhat mainstream again, and Ubisoft has already tried to surf in this trend once with Mario+Rabbids.

I don’t think there’s been a turn based game that has sold as well as BG3 in a long time. They’re just chasing trends. Something like XCOM is a better comparison in terms of gameplay and style, but doesn’t have the sales that BG3 has.
