Ubisoft confirmed that the next game in the franchise will release on next-generation hardware.
Ubisoft senior vice president of sales and marketing Tony Key was asked whether the next Rainbow Six game is coming to next-gen consoles. “We’re absolutely making another Rainbow Six. We’ve already said so. We just, as we enter this new generation, have to make sure we make the right game at the right time with the right feature sets.”
“And Rainbow Six got caught in the transition of going to next-gen and essentially we’re figuring out ‘well, are we making the right game for the right hardware systems?’ And you know, on Watch Dogs, the guys have been working on that game and it’s always been a next-generation game in their minds and the way they were designing it. And at the end of the day when the specs showed up for next generation, they had guessed right. That’s not always the case.”
“Sometimes you have to take a step back and go ‘you know, I’m seeing the possibilities, but it’s gonna take more time. We don’t really have anything else to announce or say about Rainbow Six, but we will say it’s a really exciting project for us and we can’t wait to say more.”
