After 18 years, Rainbow Six: Vegas may return – and Ubisoft has more planned

Fans got Rainbow Six Mobile in 2026, but the game is already set to shut down in 2027. Meanwhile, Rainbow Six Siege is more than 10 years old, and the last Vegas installment is even older. The series is long overdue for a proper new entry – and Ubisoft apparently has one in the works. That's according to Insider Gaming, citing its own sources. The project reportedly carries the codename "Spades" and is currently in the early stages of development. Sources believe a new installment is more likely than a remake. It could turn out to be another entry in the Vegas series, which last saw a release in 2008 with Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

Interestingly, Insider Gaming also reports that Ubisoft Montréal has launched three new game projects in total. Alongside the rumored Vegas title, another project is said to be set in the Rainbow Six universe. Nothing is currently known about the third game. It's worth noting that Ubisoft has not officially confirmed any of these three projects, so the information should be treated with caution for now.

The community also considers a new Vegas game entirely plausible, and interest appears to be high. Many fans already have a clear idea of what they want from such a title. At the top of the wish list are a tactical single-player campaign and a co-op mode featuring Terrorist Hunt, where players work together to track down and eliminate AI-controlled enemies. What fans definitely don't want is simply another version of Siege or a departure from the tactical gameplay that defined the earlier games.
