I do not play Rainbow Six Siege, but Ubisoft’s recent collaboration with Ikumi Nakamura may change my mind.
Nakamura, the creative director who conquered the heart of the gaming world with her energetic GhostWire: Tokyo presentation at E3 2019, bouncing through the industry as a freelancer since leaving ZeniMax Media subsidiary Tango Gameworks later that yearHer latest appearance is with Ubisoft, specifically designing a few ghostly operatorsiforms for Rainbow Six SiegeLike Nakamura herself, they absolutely rule.
These uniforms, which are on sale now, are also outfit operators Echo and Dokkaebi with matching weapon skins and charms. After a quick look at the rest of the skins in the game, I can safely say that Nakamura’s contributions are by far the coolest Rainbow Six Siege ever seen.
“Being an FPS, I even designed the nails of the female operators with care!” Nakamura wrote on Twitter earlier this week“Isn’t it nice to dress up on the battlefield every now and then?”
G / O Media can receive a commission
Nakamura also shared a few concept sketches from her time with designs for Rainbow Six SiegeAt one point in the process, she even suggested surrounding Dokkaebi’s face in flames due to the origin of the Korean operator’s name in Japanese, but admitted that such an effect was likely ‘exaggerated’.
With a resume designed for some of the most stylish video games of all time (Okami Bayonetta The evil inside, et al), it should come as no surprise that Nakamura’s Rainbow Six Siege skins are incredible. I hope her dream of opening her own studio will be realized sooner rather than later.
