GameInformer follows up on news of a shakeup on the Rainbow 6 Patriots team with word on what this means to the future of the next installment in this tactical shooter series. They confirm the departure of most of the game's original creative team, but refer to David Sears moving on to a different project as part of a mutual decision. According to Ubisoft, the game will be an evolved version of Sears' vision, and it is still expected for release next year.
