Viva Las Vegas, baby: Rainbow Six reportedly set to return to its high-rolling heights

Ubisoft Montreal is reportedly developing a new Rainbow Six: Vegas game, which would return the series to a setting last seen in 2008. The project could renew interest in the franchise’s tactical shooter roots, though Ubisoft has not confirmed what the game will be.

The project, codenamed “Spades”, is described by sources as more likely to be a new game, possibly Vegas 3, than a remake. It is one of three projects reportedly in development at the studio; another is also part of the Rainbow Six universe. The original Vegas launched in 2006, followed by Vegas 2 in 2008, with both featuring campaigns and competitive multiplayer.
