(Ubisoft)

Game developer and publisher Ubisoft has finally announced that the open beta for "Rainbow Six Siege" will go live from Nov. 25  to 29. Furthermore, eager fans, especially the ones who don't have a very fast internet connection or intermittent connection, can start their download days prior to the initial launch of the beta. According to GameSpot, Ubisoft will make the game available to be pre-loaded on Monday, Nov. 23. 

As for the available features during the second beta, GameSpot reports that there will be 13 available operators for the testing. Moreover, the Kanal, Hereford and House maps will be made available for the beta. 

Additionally, players who will participate in the open beta can choose three different game modes: the five vs. five match called Bomb; Secure Area; and the one to five players vs. Artificial Intelligence called Disarm Bomb.

This upcoming beta is a follow up to another test that Ubisoft held in October. The difference is that, the previous one was actually a closed beta and this one is open where plenty of players can participate.

"Rainbow Six Siege" is set to be released this December. The game was originally planned to be made available in October but the developer decided to push the launch to polish the IP, as said on GameSpot's previous report.

The new "Rainbow Six" game is set to run on the current-gen consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as well as on the PC platform.
