Insider Gaming has learned that Ubisoft is in early development on a new Rainbow Six: Vegas title.
Codenamed ‘Spades’, Insider Gaming understands that Ubisoft has greenlit a new Rainbow Six: Vegas title after the series has been on the sidelines for nearly two decades.
The second installment of the Rainbow Six: Vegas series launched in 2008, and since then, the series has been absent as Ubisoft has worked on over a dozen projects in the Rainbow Six universe.
However, Insider Gaming understands that this has changed recently, with three new projects being spun up in Ubisoft Montreal, including a new title in the Vegas series. While we have no other details on the other projects, sources suggest a second project is another title in the Rainbow Six universe.
The move comes a year after Ubisoft’s decision to form a new subsidiary with some of its iconic IP, Vantage Studios, in which Tencent owns a 26.32% stake. The subsidiary oversees some of Ubisoft’s biggest franchises, including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six. Just last week, new rumors emerged that two new Assassin’s Creed titles were also in development, which Insider Gaming could corroborate.

As of the time of writing, it’s unclear what the new game in the Vegas series will be; however, sources have said it’s likely Vegas 3 rather than a remake, but only time will tell.
Rainbow Six: Vegas was a commercial and critical success for Ubisoft in 2006, and Ubisoft greenlit a direct sequel, with Vegas 2 releasing just a year later. Unfortunately, games now take much longer to develop, so we’re likely several years away from Ubisoft officially announcing a new Vegas title is in development.
