Rainbow Six: Lockdown Delayed Again
Ubisoft's shooter game see its release go from March to April to...well, come in and see.
The continued delays surrounding Ubisoft's next Rainbow Six instalment begs the question of whether the team is having trouble putting the new elements into the game. With the release date for the console versions having come and gone with no game on the shelves, Ubisoft has come clean and admitted the game will only be out in September.
Looks fun - pity we have to wait till September to find outRainbow Six: Lockdown was originally slated for release in March. Then, just before that date came, Ubisoft announced that it had been pushed back to fall into the new financial year and an April date was pencilled in. April arrived, but the game didn't.
This latest instalment turns the table on the talented Rainbow Six squad members, who find themselves as targets for disgruntled terrorists. The game is set to include new features, including expanded online modes and new sniper sections.
If you want to find out more about the new gameplay or if things have gone awry, you can ask the developers themselves during an IRC chat on Thursday. Check out the official site for all the details on how to join in.
Rainbow Six: Lockdown is coming to PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube in September and a PC version is scheduled to arrive in 2006.
