Ubisoft announced it’s making a new version of Rainbow Six: Siege, exclusively for Netflix.

In Smol, the player controls a team of Operators, who each have their own abilities and weapons, to partake of different missions. Smol has five games modes and ten different enemy factions (some of which aren’t human). Each mission has various objectives, such as bomb defusal or hostage rescue. It’s a roguelite, so every time the enemy succeeds in their objectives, the player’s recruit character dies and they have to start over.
This is the most recent Ubisoft title to launch on Netflix, as the company also launched Valiant Hearts: Coming Home and Mighty Quest: Rogue Palace on the streaming service.
