Rumour: Rainbow Six: Vegas 3 Allegedly Greenlit At Ubisoft Montreal

We at NerdLeaks are watching a potentially huge development in the Rainbow Six family. Push Square flags an Insider Gaming report claiming that Ubisoft has allegedly greenlit and entered the early stages of development on a third Rainbow Six: Vegas game. Take this with a pinch of salt — but if true, it's a major turn for a franchise many thought finished.

What Was Reported

Per Push Square, which cites an Insider Gaming report, the new entry is claimed to be one of three projects that have just started production at Ubisoft Montreal. The same reporting suggests that one of the other two projects is also set in the Rainbow Six universe. Sources speaking under anonymity to Insider Gaming reportedly described the project as having been greenlit and entered the early stages of development.

The articles push the idea that this is likely a new instalment rather than a straight remake. Reported coverage suggests the project is most likely Vegas 3, not a remake of the earlier entries. That said, the reporting stresses the project is allegedly very early in development and that a public reveal would not be expected for a number of years — if it survives that long and isn’t cancelled first.

The Source & Credibility

Who Is Saying This?

The chain of reporting begins with Insider Gaming, with Push Square relaying the claims. The information is attributed to anonymous sources inside Ubisoft, per Insider Gaming. We have no direct confirmation from Ubisoft or Ubisoft Montreal in the material relayed by Push Square.

How Much Weight Should You Give It?

• These are secondhand claims: the immediate public reporting cites anonymous sources to Insider Gaming, as presented by Push Square.
• The reporting itself cautions readers: the project is described as being in very early development and could be cancelled before any public reveal.
• Given the anonymity and the early-stage nature described, treat the news as an unconfirmed rumour — interesting, plausible if true, but far from official.

We recommend taking this with a healthy dose of scepticism while keeping an eye on further confirmations or denials from official channels.

What It Could Mean

If the report holds up, a new Rainbow Six: Vegas instalment would represent a notable shift in Ubisoft’s use of the franchise name, which has been most recently associated with Rainbow Six: Siege in public-facing releases. The suggestion that one of three new projects at Ubisoft Montreal is also within the same universe points to a possible renewed investment in multiple approaches to the brand.

There are a few immediate implications if the rumour is accurate:

• A Return To The Vegas Sub‑Series: The reporting suggests this would be a third entry in the Vegas line rather than a remake, which would be a creative choice that carries both opportunity and risk.
• Studio Focus: Multiple projects tied to the same franchise at Ubisoft Montreal could indicate parallel development experiments or a broader strategy for the IP.
• Long Lead Time: The alleged early development status means any tangible output — teasers, trailers, or playable builds — could be years away, assuming the project continues.

We’re curious about how a new Vegas title would position itself against the current Rainbow Six identity, and whether design philosophies would lean back toward that earlier era or attempt a different direction entirely.

Why This Matters

Whether you’re nostalgic for the original Rainbow Six: Vegas pair or simply interested in how Ubisoft handles long-dormant sub‑series, this rumour is worth watching. If Ubisoft Montreal truly has multiple Rainbow Six projects entering production, it could signal a renewed diversification of the franchise beyond the current lines of work.

Remember: these claims come via anonymous sources as reported by Insider Gaming and relayed by Push Square, so treat them as unconfirmed for now. We’ll be following up if direct confirmation or further details surface.

For readers tracking the landscape of Ubisoft rumours, this sits alongside other recent whispers involving the company, including the reported Watch Dogs: Legion chatter and industry-level speculation such as the Xbox rumours — all reminders that big-name projects and their fates can shift long before any formal announcement.
