Ubisoft has unveiled the latest instalment of its Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six series, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. It’s pinned down for a March 2008 release with more co-operative and tactical options, more extensive online play and a brush up on the graphics too. The sequel is being developed by the same team that handled the previous instalment, the Ubisoft Montreal studio.
Rainbow Six Vegas received positive reviews on its launch earlier this year, with a Metacritic score of 86. Its realistic graphics, extensive online mode and intuitive cover system were just a few of the much touted points.
“Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas took the gaming world by storm in 2006 thanks to its technological advances and gameplay innovations,” said Yves Guillemot, president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “We are convinced that Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the table.”
