Mythic is making it. As Charlie mentions below, they don't have the greatest reputation. No details are available at all, but you can see the tiniest shred of it at the VERY end of this video:
I find myself teetering between hoping it's good and jealousy that I'm not making it.

Also, Mythic has a poor track record.

Terrorist Hunt is still in Siege, but it is not the focus of the game, sadly.

It's not the R6 I cut my teeth on, but hey, that was when games just got proper expansions, not DLC.

This is probably some slapped on IP for a run and gun modern dungeon crawl (underserved market??) but maybe not.

I REALLY like what they are showing so far. They are modeling aspects of R6 that I never actually expected them to model, namely leaning, height advantage, etc. I really like the "pinning" aspect of operators caught on camera. I am also quite jealous of the paint jobs they have on their demo miniatures. The fact that IQ is in the game makes it an auto-buy for me. I showed one of my sons who is a Siege addict, but not much for board games. He thought it looked really cool, so I think I'll have an opponent.
There is going to be a real-time aspect to the game, but they haven't given a lot of detail on that yet. It should really make it frantic. It's optional for people who don't want it.
I still have a lot of questions but look forward to seeing more. I'm also preparing for what will likely be an expensive KS; there are so many opportunities for them to go crazy with add-ons, I hope they exercise some restraint. I can't imagine a world in which they don't do a terrorist hunt / co-op expansion. Who knows though, maybe they are really just going to lean into competitive?
One thing I find odd: They are calling the game 6: Siege. I really don't get why they can't use the full Rainbow Six Siege title.

I wonder if this is "unlicensed" from the Clancy estate or Ubi or whoever controls that name, but uses the stuff the video game made themselves (since at this point the R6 games bear little similarity to the source material). The "Six" refers to the radio call sign for a unit commander, so maybe the game is "Six:Siege" because you are playing the role of the team lead. But I gotta think shelf awareness would be 100x higher with the Rainbow in the title, though perhaps they can market just to the game players and that would probably cover most anyone who would know the Rainbow 6 name anyway.

I will also be surprised if they don't unveil a co-op mode, but who knows.

They are doing the whole "no stretch goals, but daily unlocks" thing that seems to be the new norm. I am very surprised that they appear to have ALL of the game's operators available, which is 58 if I counted correctly. Kind of insane.
Seems like there is no PvE mode and with a 10 day campaign that already has the "all-in" pledge available, I don't think there will be one. That doesn't bother me, I think the VS gameplay here looks pretty great.
