- Ubisoft is allegedly cooking up a new mainline Rainbow Six: Vegas game codenamed Spades.
- It has approved three new projects. A second game in the Rainbow Six universe is also in development.
- The company has also reportedly approved two new Assassin’s Creed titles recently.
Rainbow Six has been among the most successful IPs for Ubisoft, with Rainbow Six Siege being an obvious million-dollar earner over the years. However, the Vegas sub-franchise has not seen a new game in nearly two decades even after enjoying a highly positive reception.
That might be changing pretty soon. A new scoop now reveals that Ubisoft has reportedly approved a new Rainbow Six: Vegas entry codenamed Spades. However, the development is still in quite the skeletal stages.
Why it matters: Ubisoft is finally putting its new strategy into action by prioritizing money-making franchises like it intended earlier this year. It has recently cancelled many games while greenlighting new ones in established IPs that are expected to see the most success.
As per the report by Insider Gaming, the new project is expected to be a mainline entry, Vegas 3, rather than a remake. Sources also confirmed three total games were approved at Ubisoft Montreal, with a second title also based on the broader Rainbow Six Universe.
Details about the third one are up in the air for now. Regardless, Ubisoft greenlit a new Vegas project following the establishment of Vantage Studios earlier this year, which oversees some of Ubisoft’s most renowned IPs, including Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six.
While just speculation, it’s more likely for Vegas 3 to be a full-fledged AAA single-player experience. Ubisoft would likely avoid sabotaging its own Rainbow Six Siege entry, as the previous attempt with Rainbow Six Extraction did not bode well for it.
The same outlet also previously reported that Ubisoft has greenlit two new Assassin’s Creed projects, as AC Hexe gets delayed to 2028 for further polishing. We’ll likely learn more details about all these games over the coming years.
Do you think a new Rainbow Six Vegas entry will work out for Ubisoft at such a volatile time for the company? Should the publisher focus on more recent IPs instead? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
