<p><em>Rainbow 6: Patriots</em> went silent after it&#8217;s initial announcement and reveal trailer in 2011. At the time, it was set to release for current-gen hardware, but now the title is leaving that behind in favor of utilizing the power of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/13/e3-2013-rainbow-6-patriots-is-next-gen">IGN</a>, Ubisoft&#8217;s senior vp of sales and marketing Tony Key confirmed that, yes, <em>Rainbow 6: Patriots</em> now how its sights set on next-gen.</p>
<p>“We’re absolutely making another <em>Rainbow 6</em>. We’ve already said so. We just, as we enter this new generation, have to make sure we make the right game at the right time with the right feature sets,&#8221; Key said to IGN. &#8220;And <em>Rainbow 6</em> got caught in the transition of going to next-gen and essentially we’re figuring out ‘well, are we making the right game for the right hardware systems?’&#8217;</p>
<p>“Sometimes you have to take a step back and go ‘you know, I’m seeing the possibilities, but it&#8217;s gonna take more time.'&#8221;</p>
