The team also consulted various counter terrorist units such as the French GIGN unit for how they would react in a hostage rescue situation. Though they knew how games like this played and worked, they also took inspiration from various counter terrorist operations in the past such as the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege, the 1997 Lufthansa Flight 181 hijacking, and the 2002 Moscow Nord-Ost siege in order to assure accuracy in procedures.

The team was comprised of longtime players of the Rainbow Six series and first person shooter veterans. Īfter the cancellation of Patriots, Ubisoft assembled a new team to come up with ideas to reboot the series.

Originally, the next entry in the series was supposed to be Rainbow 6: Patriots, announced in 2011 (trailer shown below). Rainbow Six Siege was developed as the next entry of the Rainbow Six franchise by Ubisoft.
