According to Detoc, “We had a core team. They had a good vision. They got started, and then the game wasn’t working. So (they had) to start again. There’s an editorial group in Ubisoft, a big group, very influential. If the game is not good enough, they say it’s not good enough. Most of the time, the team will say, ‘yeah, I know.’ But sometimes they want to continue in a direction where you say, ‘no, it’s not going to work.’”
“Rainbow had to be remade. Now they’re going to have the benefit of the new consoles, if and when it comes out. It’s one of those examples where you try, it doesn’t work, you try again. If it doesn’t work, we’re not going to bring it to you,” stated Detoc.
When Patriots is finally released, it may not even be called Patriots anymore. He explained, “Could it become a shooter with another name in the end, because the team doesn’t want to do counter-terrorist guys? Say they want to be in a mercenary setting? That’s possible.”
Rainbow Six: Patriots was first announced back in November 2011. The official site is still up, too.
