Company: Ubisoft
SAN FRANCISCO - October 26, 2005 — Today Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced that the premier multi-player franchise Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown™, the fourth installment of the multi-million unit selling franchise, will ship worldwide in early 2006 for the PC. The console versions of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Lockdown were released earlier this year.

The Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® franchise, hailed for its immersive single-player and multi-player experiences, continues with Lockdown as Team Rainbow, the world’s premier counter-terrorist unit, is called on to fight a deadly bioterrorism threat. The crisis takes Rainbow into new territory and new situations, as for the first time the hunter becomes the hunted.

All-new features, specific to the PC, add to the tensest close-quarter battles ever experienced online. New features include:

• Enhanced Tactical Experience
