Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 25% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.80 | +0.200 37% | TechPowerUp is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 1.00 | +0.200 37% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
The last Rainbow Six: Vegas game launched as far back as 2008, and the series has more or less been dormant since then. However, a recent report out of Insider Gaming claims that an insider at Ubisoft has confirmed that a new Rainbow Six: Vegas game is in the works. Not much is known about the new Rainbow Six: Vegas game other than that it is in development and that Ubisoft is developing the game in its new Vantage Studios subsidiary, which is partially owned by Tencent. The new game in the Vegas series is known internally by the codename "Spades," and it is one of three new games Ubisoft is working on at Ubisoft Montreal. This also isn't the only Rainbow Six game in development, after Ubisoft's August reveal of Rainbow Six Tactics.
