Rainbow Six Vegas 3 Reportedly in Development at Ubisoft

Ubisoft could be expanding the Rainbow Six franchise with multiple new projects, including a potential return to the Vegas subseries and another unannounced game.

Ubisoft appears to be developing a major expansion of its Rainbow Six franchise, with a recent report claiming that Rainbow Six Vegas 3 is now in development, along with another unannounced project set in the same universe. Several reports have circulated online, but Ubisoft has not officially confirmed it. As with any early development report, take these assertions with a grain of salt until the publisher offers more details.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen reports of a planned Rainbow Six project ahead of an official announcement. In April 2025, another source stated that Ubisoft was creating a turn-based Rainbow Six game. Ubisoft eventually acknowledged the project, and later showed a gameplay video. This prior development adds weight to the current claim, but it does not mean all the specifics will inevitably prove true.

The projects described are understood to be part of a wider restructuring at Ubisoft following the company’s investment deal with Tencent and the launch of a new creative house dedicated to running multiple big brands. Both titles are apparently in development at Ubisoft Montreal, the same team that makes Rainbow Six Siege.

However, Rainbow Six Vegas 3 might be a very different experience than Siege, possibly bringing the franchise back to its campaign-focused roots.

Rainbow Six Vegas first released in 2006, with a sequel, Rainbow Six Vegas 2, coming in 2008. Both were single-player and campaign- and co-op-centered, delivering a different experience from the competitive multiplayer framework that defines Rainbow Six Siege today.

If the rumored third installment is a brand new game, it may take a similar approach, with a traditional campaign and co-op gameplay. But one burning question remains: what is its connection to Siege? Several characters who first appeared in the Vegas games have shown up in Siege, giving Ubisoft chances to connect the two experiences.

Vegas 3 could be a straight sequel to Vegas 2, detailing events that happened before the Siege chronology, or a standalone spin-off with some connections to the current universe. The second purported project, however, is a lot more mysterious. A new Rainbow Six game could be in the works, according to a report from Insider Gaming, although its presence and direction are far less certain.

Siege currently has a competitive FPS in the franchise, a turn-based strategy game, and potentially a single-player Vegas sequel, so Ubisoft might explore a new genre with this third title. Another is a multiplayer experience. There’s also talk that Ubisoft could one day make Rainbow Six Siege 2.

Such a project may be part of the company’s broader efforts to maximize the value of its established properties, particularly if production started several years before the eventual release.

But replacing Siege would be a massive move given the game remains a substantial cash stream for Ubisoft. The source also claims that Vegas 3 might be a remaster rather than a brand-new installment, though a new game seems more likely.

For now, Ubisoft hasn’t publicly announced either project. However, the idea of several Rainbow Six experiences is exciting, especially for fans eager to see the brand explore genres, settings, and storytelling styles beyond Siege.
