Ubisoft says ‘Rainbow 6’ is still in development

Rainbow 6 is still missing in action. It wasn’t expected to reappear during Gamescom, but the expo gave IGN the opportunity to ask for an update about the project.

Thankfully, Rainbow 6 is still in development, according to Ubisoft executive director Alain Corre. But before we see a re-reveal, it needs to be “perfect”.

Corre stated:

“On Rainbow 6, it’s still cooking. It’s an important franchise for Ubisoft. We want to make sure, on this one, like all the other games we’re working on, that we bring it when we feel it’s perfect.”

Corre added the following when asked if the game will still be called Patriots and has maintained its original structure:

“We can’t say yet. We’re iterating. What we want is to have a compelling story. We want people who play the next Rainbow 6 to be astonished, to be very pleased with what they see. You’ve seen that the improvement in games over the last few years has been exponential. We have to reflect that improvement in quality. That’s what we’re doing on all our games.”

“What we have to do, and it’s something that is very important for us, is that we bring a new iteration when we believe that we have enough creativity, enough innovation, to make something worth waiting for,” he said. “On some games, it happens more often. Creation is not an exact science. When we’re happy with what we see, when we think we can bring something new to gamers, then we say, ‘okay, this is a good time to release it.’”
