Ubisoft reveals a new Rainbow Six game is in development but this time it is a remake or retelling of the original Rainbow Six game. Similar to how GoldenEye for the Wii was a retelling of the N64 game, Ubisoft is doing the same with the new Rainbow Six game.
The game will take place primarily in New York with the villains being home-grown terrorists upset at Wall Street. The story is also revealed to be more in depth than the typical Tom Clancy game and more similar to a cinematic presentation.
Gameplay-wise, the remake will drop most of the gameplay style from Vegas and other Rainbow Six games and return to the classic tactical and stealth shooter of the early games.
The cover system from Vegas will be kept as a way from switching between first and third person perspectives.
Ubisoft did not announce if more of the game will be shown at E3 but at the moment very unlikely. They also didn't announce which systems the game will arrive but based on the on-screen prompts, a PC and Xbox 360 version should be available.
