Idris Elba Takes Point in Rainbow Six Siege ‘Siege the Day’ Trailer

As we edge closer to Rainbow Six Siege’s launch on December 1, a new face has joined the fight – specifically the face of Idris Elba, who stars in a new live-action trailer called “Siege the Day.” A rapid-fire re-enactment of Rainbow Six Siege’s counter-terrorist multiplayer matches, the trailer unfolds in a (rapidly demolished) re-creation of the House map, with Elba giving viewers a guided tour of the destruction.

Those who can’t get enough of Elba can also see him in a series of accompanying featurettes, titled “The Laws of Siege,” that elaborate on some of the game’s more explosive and destructive aspects. Also, an open beta for Rainbow Six Siege will take place from November 25 through November 29, giving players a chance to try for free ahead of the game’s launch on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on December 1.
