Ubisoft's tactical shooter series is back with bold new narrative direction.

The December issue of Game Informer features 12 exclusive pages of coverage detailing Rainbow 6 Patriots, the controversial new entry in the Tom Clancy series that places gamers in the shoes of Team Rainbow, a homegrown terrorist uprising, and the civilians caught in the crossfire. This new terrorist threat, called the True Patriots, hopes to restore its interpretation of American values by beheading corporate America and overthrowing the government. As a member of a new Team Rainbow cast, players must ask themselves how far they are willing to go to stop the militia.

“Terrorism has evolved, and so has Rainbow 6," said creative director David Sears. "In Rainbow 6 Patriots, all the team play, tactics, and realism that fans of the series love have been coupled with an exciting new narrative direction. This adds an unprecedented level of humanity that will make Rainbow 6 Patriots an extremely tense and immersive experience.”

In addition to an in-depth look at the campaign, the cover story also explores the new tactical improvements being injected into the old Rainbow formula and addresses how developer Ubisoft Montreal hopes to recapture the multiplayer crown from Call of Duty and Battlefield.

2013 Release. Yep.

 

[DSN2K]

Ding!

 

[omgkitty]

2013? I thought there was supposed to be a new Rainbow Six game sometime soon...did they scrap it or what?

Edit: Nevermind. I was thinking of Ghost Recon: Future Soldiers which comes out early next year.

 

[LQX]

Excited for a new RB6 but I hope they put some tactics back into the series.

 

[AiTM]

 

[ScOULaris]

Oh, joy. Another Dudebro Game Informer cover.

 

[FGMPR]

It sounds like a pile of shit. Devs: If you want to be "radical", then do it within the context of the game, not as a game trying to be a movie.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I cannot wait for them to create a "Patriots Hub" and piecemeal info out bit by bit until I lose the will lo live.

 

[LiK]

What about the GUNS?

That isnt terrorism, thats the Revolution!

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

2013, jesus. Why not just hold off for the next-gen consoles at that point?

 

[Ermac]

"Dieter climb that statue!"

 

[LQX]

Oh, joy. Another Dudebro Game Informer cover.

Did you miss last months cover?

[M.D]

Are there any other games announced for 2013 other than this and inSANE?

 

[JetBlackPanda]

please for the love of all that's holy! someone make something original.

 

[kittens]

Oh snap.

Tea Party, watch out.

You ain't killing CoD with originality!

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

YES ! a REAL new R6 game!

 

[BattleMonkey]

That new Turtle Rock shooter is due in 2013 also.

 

[Apdiddy]

Great, a game about the OWS and Tea Party movements....except you mow them down with guns!

I kinda have a feeling this will have the same reaction as Homefront did: controversial storyline but mostly forgettable gameplay.

 

[strafer]

Another Rogue Spear pliiz.

 

[DoctorPayne]

the controversial new entry in the Tom Clancy series

wat

Maybe Game Informer should write their own copy instead of letting Ubi's marketing do it for them?

 

[Elginer]

Gets me every damn time. Also we have another developer trying to gun after CoD, excellent so I can expect another franchise I love being packed with Michael Bay cutscenes. Dammit game industry!!!

 

[Orayn]

Very excited for this one! Even if it's similar to Vegas and Vegas 2, it would still be head and shoulders above most shooters out there.

 

[Derrick01]

Oh snap.

Tea Party, watch out.

Tea Party loves corporations, if anything this seems like a shot to the occupy movement but probably just a coincidence since this game's likely been in the works for a long time.

 

[DrBo42]

I am ready.

 

[Wario64]

Controversial = moral choices

do i shot hostage or not

I'm curious what these values could be if they're destroying Corporate America and the government. Those two seem to be on opposite sides.

 

[Radec]

Guns of the Patriots!

Spoiler

nice cover btw

 

[LiK]

Oh yea, NY again. Yay....

 

[soultron]

Please be good.
Please be good.
Please be good.
Please be good.
Please be good.
Please be good.

Oh boy, here we go. I love Rainbow Six. What I don't love is giving the right more reasons to demonize video games.

 

[UnluckyKate]

This cover is so dramatic.

Please Ubi, don't screw this

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Dude looks like a Lady Bro

 

[faridmon]

I hope its a R6 game that playes like a pre-Vegas Rainbow Six game (Lockdown does not exist)

They're trying to make us sympathetic to the big bankers and demonise the 99%ers? Not sure I can stomach that. I had enough trouble destroying evidence of US involvment in Mexico so the EU couldn't force them to respect their sovereignty in GRAW2.

Don't get your hopes up man. Be prepared for Rainbow Six: Conviction.

POP QUIZ, HOTSHOT.

 

[Suzzopher]

2013? That is so far away

David Cage game philosophy is infecting the game industry.

 

[domlolz]

That isnt terrorism, thats the Revolution!

so basically you are playing the anti-revolutionaries trying to stymie the peoples will, urgh, this isn't for me!

haha this must be a joke

 

[Barrett2]

Goddamn am I ready for a new Rainbow Six game.

 

[Concept17]

2013? That is so far away

Yeah. Its good to know for sure one is coming I guess. Once 2012 is at its end, maybe I'll care.

 

[Suzzopher]

Heavy Rainbow

 

[Barrett2]

Team Rainbow, a homegrown terrorist uprising, and the civilians caught in the crossfire. This new terrorist threat, called the True Patriots

Nano-machines all up in this bitch.

Can love blossom on the Tea Party battlefield?
