Ubisoft Reboot Idea
Lucas Botkin pitched a "super politically-incorrect Far Cry 2 reboot" set in Rhodesia — sparking calls for a Rainbow Six Patriots revival https://x.com/LucasBotkin/status/2031473865495323041, https://x.com/JoseySnails/status/2031513192401133604.
Botkin's "Rhodesia" pitch may be a deliberate provocation, given his history of inflammatory statements. It seems designed to test the boundaries of acceptable game narratives. The "Rainbow Six Patriots" revival call is interesting, considering its own troubled history. That game was canceled after controversy over its plot involving domestic terrorism. Ubisoft might be gauging public reaction before committing to any controversial projects. The games industry is increasingly sensitive to political and social issues.
