Ubisoft Montreal Reportedly Developing New Rainbow Six: Vegas Project

The codename “Spades” would mark a return to the series’ campaign-focused Vegas era and suggest renewed investment in multiple Rainbow Six titles.

Overview

  • Reports from industry insider Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming, relayed by Destructoid and other outlets, say Ubisoft Montreal is working on a project codenamed “Spades” that sources believe is likely a new Rainbow Six: Vegas entry.
  • Sources describe Spades as more likely to be a third mainline Vegas game than a straight remake, but they say the project is in early development and core details remain unverified.
  • Henderson also reports two other projects at Ubisoft Montreal, and at least one of those is said to be another Rainbow Six title, implying multiple Rainbow projects are in the studio pipeline.
  • Ubisoft has not confirmed any of these reports or provided details about scope, platforms, release timing, or whether Spades will use the original Las Vegas setting and campaign format.
  • The original Vegas games combined a story campaign with squad tactics and competitive multiplayer, and a new Vegas entry could give fans a single-player option that complements Ubisoft’s live-service titles such as Siege and the upcoming Rainbow Six Tactics.
