Rainbow 6 Patriots Release Date Revealed

StickSkills.com writes, "As Ubisoft prepares to release their upcoming shooter Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, it appears that a release date may have slipped for another shooter from the company. Previously, Ubisoft had only mentioned 2013 for Rainbow 6 Patriots but had refused to go anymore specific with the release date."

January 1 2013 is a long way but man I do plan on getting this game.

[chriski333]

i bet u anything the date will change

[Ashunderfire86]

Well of course it will change its a place holder date.

[showtimefolks]

rainbow six vegas was one of my fav games, here is hoping this one has a great and lengthy campaign

[J5Feedback]

I still play terrorist hunt when I'm bored. Calypso Casino is one of my favorite multiplayer maps in history.

[KwietStorm]

I just hope it doesn't play like that target demo trailer. The last thing I need is for them to casualize Rainbow Six.

[THC CELL]

J5Feedback a true rainbow six player will tell u garage was the best map ever in the rainbow series

Playing rainbow six since rainbow 3

[Summons75]

they already casualized it with Vegas, I want them to go back to more strategy like the old games

[KwietStorm]

No agrees and 4 disagrees. So you all want QTEs in Rainbow Six? You want it to play like Heavy Rain? Because thats exactly what the trailer emulated.

[Kurt Russell]

I hope they get that blonde stupid looking skank to advertise this one as well!!!... Only kiddin'

I have missed the Rainbow 6 games, I loved Vegas!

[Bleucrunch]

The first one was amazing the second was the equivalent to eating a terribly prepared piece of bone in rib eye...a crime in this world which should never happen. The third one at least from the videos that I saw will be a classic. They are takin their sweet time with this game as they should.

[PerpetualMathx10]

very excited for this game, ive been holding off after i got burnt out on fps games. so im very much looking forward to halo 4 and rainbow 6 patriots!

[Brosy]

I hope it's as good as the Vegas series.

[Bathyj]

I thought I was the only one who loved Vegas.

Yeah I know it was different to the early games, but it was still great, and gave you lots of options and choices in taking out tangos.

We need more shooters that give a bit of freedom and allow you to think. A nice change from the space marines and run and gun military shooters.

PS
Did you know about 50% of koalas have chlamydia?
Dirty little bastards.

[zeal0us]

Vegas is a good series, man wish they had came out with a Vegas 3 before now.

[Kingdom Come]

I felt Vegas 2's multiplayer, rank system and customisation was an improvement but they should have kept Logan as the protagonist in the campaign, Vegas 1's campaign was so grounded, character driven and suspensful, whilst in Vegas 2 I hated the protagonist, and we designed him...

[DeadlyFire]

Vegas was primarily First person. This game is third person view only. So I see a big negative on that already. It worked for Mass Effect, but that wasn't a tactical type of game.

January is a very unexpected release date. It doesn't fit in at all with their goal of taking on frontline shooters. January is just a placeholder. Date is more than likely Septemberish or later.

I don't like the direction Patriots is going in, but I can't stop it. I just wish there was a Vegas 3 or Raven Shield 2 or something along those lines.

[i_da_pappy]

January 1st? i dont think so. as bad as i want this game, in January nobody wants to spend money its right after christmas. they need to put it out before christmas or push it back to february.

[blackhammer]

What about the kids who get their holiday money in their stockings and stuff? They'll spend money. I know I spend some on steam deals.

[ian72]

Looking forward to seeing how this game turns out. The new Ghost Recon isn't doing it for me, I hope this is better.

[Pintheshadows]

Well the concept trailer was incredible so i'll definately be picking this up. Both the Vegas titles were quality.

Not as good as Rogue Spear though.

[SignifiedSix]

Raven Shield was pretty sweet too!

[CaptCalvin]

Wow. Didn't know anybody still remembered.

[nachokingp]

Amazon posts guesstimates of dates frequently, that's not a guarantee of ACTUAL release dates. Those dates change all the time. Halo 4 had a release date of 12/31/2012 forever until 343 Studios announced the real release date. You guys need to stop acting like amazon gets insider information, it's just a placeholder people.

[Hdz54]

This. Its pathetic how these amature gaming blogs continue to reference Amazon's estimated release dates as insider leaks. If amazon posted a link for Xbox 720 with a release date for next week I guarantee some idiot blogger will report it as a leak and submit it to this site.

[Commodore]

If you think this game is getting released on New Years Day....please think about it. Winter Classic, Bowl Games....not happening.

[blackhammer]

Yeah, doubtful it's the actual release date.

I'll play it, but I won't purchase it due to my lack of faith in practically any Ubisoft developer these days. Vegas, Vegas 2 were my least favorite in the whole series (and we won't talk about Lockdown... never).

[tigertron]

New Year's Day? unlikely.

[MidnytRain]

Unlikely? Yes. Epic? YES.

[Der_Kommandant]

I can't freaking wait!!!!

[TheEatingOrange]

LOL it says january 1st 2013 cause Ubisoft said it's gonna be released in 2013 and january 1st is the first day of 2013..

[TheDareDevil]

I know right?
I can't believe they made a story for this. I mean as game journos you should know better that when a retailer lists a games release date as Dec 31st or Jan 1st, it's NOT the exact release date, just the year

[Agent_00_Revan]

its a freakin placeholder date! why are stupid people allowed to post shit online?

[Dayngls]

all that means is it is next year with the 1st being at least. come on now how many times have we seen this too much.

[Funky Town_TX]

Splinter Cell is screwed up, and it looks like Ghost Recon is screwed up also. I just hope R6 is just like R6 of the past. R6 was one of the first FPS I played online on a console.

[theeg]

pc and next gen only!

*fingers crossed

[Kamikaze8]

Clearly a placeholder, Amazon has done that before. The closest assumption I would make is the first quarter of the year if not simply 2013.

[MIDNIGHT 21]

Im super excited about is game i neeed more info

[Campy da Camper]

Black Arrow was so much fun. I can still close my eyes and run Airport in my head...Cafe, too.

[Dogswithguns]

Im a bigfan since forever..

[Hayabusa 117]

Never liked the Rainbow 6 games TBH...but target gameplay trailer looks dope! If it PLAYS anything like that, it'll rock.

[sandman224]

If its going to take that long they better polish the heck out of it. The the previous game was one of my favorites. The only problem with the game was the graphics. I hope it's pretty on the eyes when released.
