Summary
AnotherRainbow Sixgame is said to be in development, possibly going by the codename Atom. This comes from well-known Rainbow Six leaker Shiny, who says that Rainbow Six Atom is in development atUbisoftnow.
The leaker doesn’t have any further details to share about the new game, including whether it will be a main release or some kind of mobile spin-off. Right now, Ubisoft hasn’t confirmed that Rainbow Six Atom exists, so even if it does, we’ll have to wait for an official announcement.
A New Rainbow Six Game, Rainbow Six Atom, Is Apparently In Development
Even if this leak proves to be accurate, we’ll have to wait and see what kind of Rainbow Six game this ends up being. The main game right now isRainbow Six Siege, which has been going strong since 2015. It would be huge for Ubisoft to try and drop a successor on us, so it seems more likely that this would be some kind of spin-off. We’ve had that before, withRainbow Six Extractionlaunching in 2022.
As we can see in the replies, many are hoping this isn’t a mobile game, at the very least. That seems unlikely too, since we already know that Rainbow Six Mobile is launching next year. It would be strange to have two different games like this on the market, so Atom - if real - might be more akin to Extraction.
In any case, we shouldn’t expect Siege to go anywhere anytime soon. Last year, Ubisoft said that itwants Siege to be supported for 12 more years, meaning we might still be playing it in 2035. That’s an ambitious goal, and doesn’t suggest that the company is looking to usurp it anytime soon. Either way, it remains to be seen if anything comes of these rumours about Atom.
