Ubisoft has today officially announced that the next Rainbow Six game is now in development, and it's called Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots. Boasting a gripping "dynamic single-player storyline", new missions and online multiplayer modes, Patriots's narrative will look to capture the reality of modern-day terrorism. Yes.

“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.”

Facing a new threat from the 'True Patriots', Team Rainbow (still no sign of Bungle, Zippy and George) will have to bring down the well-organised, highly-trained and ruthless faction who are intent on reclaiming their country from the American government. Facing critical scenarios, you'll have to make split-second decisions and resolve ethical dilemmas to stop this new breed of terrorist.

Boasting co-op and competitive multiplayer, along with its core single-player experience, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Patriots will be deploying in 2013, with the first details set to feature in the Christmas issue of Official Xbox Magazine on November 30th. Look! Here's a logo!

  • 2013 can't come soon enough
  • 2013?? But the world ends in 2012!!!
  • These games take forever to come out.. still waiting on Future Soldier..
  • Short, but sweet. Look forward to hearing more.
  • 2013 makes me sad, but better than never! My god I miss those old clan matches on the original Xbox! And Vegas 1 & 2 I still play! This is amazing news, especially since the new Splinter Cell and GRAWs have been coming out. RAINBOW SIX 6!!!!!!!!!! :)
  • YES now this is something I'll play for FPS standards CoD and BF were never my cup of tea. Loved the vegas games!
  • Awwwww yeah! loved Vegas 1 and 2 cant wait for this!
  • These were the best shooters, until they started copying Call of Duty and Battlefield.
  • Great news! Although, for all that is holy Ubisoft, please do NOT intergrate Kinect in any way, shape or form for this game.
  • We'll all be dead by the end of next year, so why wait so long? lol
  • Another Tom Clancy game, Awesome!
  • @8 how in the hell has any rainbow six game ever been like CoD or battlefield? did you ever get to drive any vehicles in rainbow six? nope. Also is there perks, overly ridiculous set pieces, and the same graphics used for every sequel. Can't wait for this game to come out! I've been a fan since Rainbow Six 1! As long as they return the map to plot out my teams actions before actually doing the mission i'll be fine with it.
  • This is great news as R6 was one of my favorite shooters ever made. Given that the dynamics have changed, I can't wait to see some images and gameplay. This photo simply isn't enough atm!
  • Awesome. Love Rainbow Six.
  • The only thing that could be worse news than this is GTA in the same year....lol
  • Never been this excited for a FPS before. I loved the Vegas games and I'm downloading the originals for the computer now. Can't wait!!
  • gameinformer site has a video. it looks pretty cool.
  • awesome, rainbow six is mostly about the story and doesnt need to be yearly to sell.
  • 2013? O for crying out loud... If the rumors of a next-gen Xbox in late 2013 are true they might as well wait for it.
  • Get in, can't wait for this, really enjoyed the online in RSV, should be quality
  • Hope this is more like the other R6 games and less like the Vegas games. But I guess I will be happy either way lol. Can't wait!
  • This and gta5 being announced has made me a very happy guy! The video on game informer is amazing, hopefully that's how the game will turn out, but it does look promising! Just need some news on the movie now
  • I still play Vegas 1 and 2 online. R6 is by far the most fun online experience of any fps.
  • Love me some Rainbow Six. Day one purchase!
  • @8 wtf are you talking about?Have you ever even played Rainbow Six?Rainbow Six is in a totally different league than COD and BF.
  • All well and good, but will we be able to create and execute a plan a la the classic Rainbow 6 games? I miss being able to do that.
  • Sweet! I really enjoyed the first two games ... will likely be preordering this one when it is available.
  • Rainbow!!! This should see the 360 nicely, unless it's in development for the next round of consoles...
  • FINALLY!!!!!!! ...i just came
  • Thank God this has been announced! I love everything about RSV2, A really well executed Tactical first person shooter. In my opinon better than CoD/BF.. I Love Rainbow Six Games
  • Finally! Been waiting for a new Rainbow Six game.
  • Yes
  • OMFG! I LOVE RAINBOW 6 BEEN PLAYIN SINCE THE FIRST ONE! have the books and all!
  • @29 out the closet? I wish rb6 was out 2012 would of been nice
  • omfg! sex! rainbow six is one of my fav games ever i pladed r6v2 to death i love it
  • I'm glad it's official. Now I get to spend 18 months trying not to think about it.
  • Great news, long way away but nice to know it's in the works!
  • Nothing says PATRIOTISM about a game set in the US with the american flag on its logo than a game being developed by freaking French-Canadiens LOLZ.
  • Oh my favorite franchise , heavy fortifly milcha compound your going down.
  • YYYEEEEAAHHHHH!!!!! I cant wait 4 this to come out!!! This is the best i hope they chage the single player campaign tho
  • RB6 Vegas 2 is one of my all time favourite Xbox 360 games, can't wait for this!
  • Just remake Rainbow six 3 and Black arrow without touching anything and it will all be good. Unless this game is just like them
  • Finaly A great day for rainbow fans will be the best day ever
  • So fucking excited for this game.
  • I think this might be the best news this year. I hope it will be as amazing as Vegas series and it sounds like it could have multiple endings? Whatever happens I'm sold. Every single Tom Clancy's game is worth it's price IMO.
  • I'm very glad they haven't forgotten about this franchise. However, this is Ubisoft we are talking about here. The Tom Clancy games seem to get delayed multiple times. I wouldn't expect to see this on time.
