Ubisoft today officially announced the development of the latest instalment of its Rainbow 6 franchise, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots. The title is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal with support from Ubisoft Toronto and Red Storm, and will be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC sometime in 2013.
“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6. In Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction,” said David Sears, creative director at Ubisoft. “This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”
From what we know of the game’s plot, Team Rainbow will be up against the True Patriots, whom Ubisoft describe as “a highly-trained, well-organised revolutionary group that claim the American government is irrevocably corrupted by greedy politicians and corporate special interests. The True Patriots will do whatever it takes to reclaim their country.”
In addition to the single-player campaign, Ubisoft also promise “a huge variety of new innovative co-op and multi-player experiences” with an emphasis on teamwork.
