RUMOR: the Rainbow Six: Vegas series could return after almost 20 years. According to an exclusive report by Insider Gaming, published on Friday, November 13, Ubisoft has greenlit a new entry in the subseries at its Montreal studio. Ubisoft has not confirmed the report, and there is no official announcement.
What the report says
According to the outlet, the project is codenamed “Spades” and is in early development. Sources said the most likely outcome is a new game — a possible Vegas 3 — rather than a remake, but the format has not been decided. Given how long modern games take to make, an official announcement could be years away.
The report also says three new projects have been spun up at Ubisoft Montreal, including the new Vegas, and that a second one is also set in the Rainbow Six universe. The move comes a year after Ubisoft created the Vantage Studios subsidiary to oversee its most valuable franchises — including Assassin’s Creed, Far Cry and Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six — in which Tencent owns a 26.32% stake.
Almost 20 years after the last Vegas
The last game in the subseries, Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, launched in 2008. The first Vegas, from 2006, was a commercial and critical success for Ubisoft. Another franchise entry is already official: Rainbow Six: Tactics, revealed at Gamescom 2026 and slated for 2027, is the series’ first turn-based tactics game and brings back Paul Bishop, the Vegas protagonist.
