UK-based R6 fan site Aggression has got the major scoop on Ubisoft's follow-up title to their huge hit on the Xbox, Rainbow Six 3. The new R6 title for the Xbox is called "Rainbow Six 3: Black Arrow" and you can read the full press release here!
It looks like Black Arrow will be based on the same technology that powered the original R6-3 with numerous improvements. Also, with "beautiful Mediterranean and Eastern European level environments", there's a good chance that we will see some maps based on levels seen in Athena Sword for the PC. The best thing is that the new game will be out by August 2004! |
