Developed at Ubisoft Montreal
by the same team that created the award-winning Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas,
the highly anticipated sequel is scheduled for a March 2008 release. Tom
Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 is the sixth iteration in the wildly successful
Rainbow Six franchise which celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2008 with more
than 16 million units sold worldwide to date.
"Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas took the gaming world by storm in 2006 thanks
to its technological advances and gameplay innovations,” said Yves Guillemot,
president and chief executive officer at Ubisoft. "We are convinced that Tom
Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will remain a pioneer in the highly competitive
first person shooter genre, bringing more of what Rainbow Six fans love to the
table.”
The highly anticipated sequel to the winner of numerous awards, including IGN's
2006 Best First Person Shooter and Best Online Game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
Vegas 2 will push the franchise to new heights by adding new gameplay features
and even more stunning visuals. Players will encounter an intense solo campaign
that uses new tactical possibilities in various locations around Sin City. As
expected with one of the pioneer franchises for online multiplayer Tom Clancy's
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 will also break new ground in both co-op and adversarial
modes, while providing unprecedented interaction between the solo and
multiplayer modes.
