Even though its development was revealed last week by 1UP, Ubisoft
today officially announced Rainbow Six: Vegas. Scheduled for release this fall, the new Rainbow Six game will appear on PC as well as current and next-gen consoles. The game takes place in Las Vegas, where it's up "the world's most elite counter-terrorism unit" to take out the terrorists holding the city hostage.
"Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas will push technology through graphics, artificial intelligence, physics and animations created by Ubisoft's award-winning Montreal studios, which house some of the world's best talent, including Senior Producer Chadi Lebbos who was the lead on Rainbow Six 3.
"Rainbow Six is back and better than ever," said Tony Kee, vice president of marketing at Ubisoft. "Building upon the online success of the Rainbow Six franchise and harnessing the power of the next-generation experience, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas will be the benchmark against which all next-generation games will be measured. With Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter being released this month to wide critical acclaim, and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent also due out this year, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas makes a perfect addition to the Clancy series in 2006."
