​Wizz and Ubisoft increase the threat level

For nearly five years, the animation studio Wizz and video game publisher Ubisoft have been working together to expand the universe of Rainbow Six Siege. 

This partnership has given rise to a series of 18 immersive films, marking a significant artistic and narrative evolution for this iconic franchise.

Founded in 2004 by the QUAD Group, Wizz has established itself as a globally recognised animation studio, known for its expertise in 2D, 3D, stop-motion, and mixed-media animation. Leveraging this mastery, Wizz has become a key partner for Ubisoft, helping to develop the Rainbow Six Siege universe through engaging and innovative formats. Thanks to this collaboration, Wizz alongside its collective of directors, CRCR, has crafted a distinctive visual approach, strengthening the storytelling of this legendary franchise.

One of the most striking aspects of this collaboration is the choice of a unique 2D animation style. Initially selected for its flexibility, this graphic approach has evolved into a powerful visual signature, adding a fresh dimension to the game's universe. This creative direction has allowed Wizz to explore new forms of artistic expression, enriching the Rainbow Six Siege lore while offering players a renewed sense of immersion.

The continuity of this partnership has been a major asset:

• A stable and passionate team, operating as a true extension of Ubisoft Montreal’s
• production unit.
• A deep understanding of the IP, fuelled by countless hours of gameplay and unwavering commitment
• A constant evolution of the visual style, pushing the boundaries of storytelling and 2D animation techniques.

This long-term collaboration model has optimised production costs while continuously elevating the quality of the content, reinforcing Wizz as a strategic partner for Ubisoft.

The results of this partnership speak for themselves:

• A catalog of 18 films, each expanding the Rainbow Six Siege universe.
• A highly engaged community eagerly anticipating each new trailer.
• Outstanding performance: within 72 hours, the latest release amassed over 104,000 views and 5,000 likes on YouTube.

This collaboration between Wizz and Ubisoft is a testament to the power of creative synergy, proving that long-term partnerships can drive artistic and technical innovation to new heights.
