Ubisoft continued their flurry of announcements by revealing the first details of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas.

Terrorists have invaded Sin City and they'll be doing it on the PC, Xbox 360 and recently confirmed PS3 version. Here are the new details straight from Ubisoft:

Features
Ubisoft Montreal Returns Ц Rainbow Six is back in the hands of Ubisoft's Montreal studio, creators of the award-winning and highly acclaimed Rainbow Six 3 on Xbox and PC, promising traditional tactical gameplay.

New Leader, New Team Ц Team Rainbow ushers in a new breed of heroes. With a new team, comes added responsibility. Tactics play a MAJOR role in your team's success, as each member comes equipped with his own skill set.

* Logan Keller Ц Team leader and recon expert.

* Michael Walter Ц Heavy weapons and demolition expert.

* Jung Park Ц Long range and electronics specialist.

Special Order Location Ц Experience a new level of squad-based realism as your teammates, Michael and Jung, offer you real-time tactical suggestions like busting through walls or hacking computers, all in a race against time to locate the heart of the terrorist cell.

Observe - Plan - Assault Ц Use tactical planning to maneuver through multiple-path Vegas environments while utilizing high-tech equipment such as snake cams to strategically УtagФ terrorist targets to your teammates, prior to entering a room.

Real-Time Immersion Ц Prepare yourself for a new level of in-game immersion with real-time mission briefings, all in the midst of the most intense combat ever played.

Advanced Gameplay Animations Ц Motion-captured assault and recon techniques such as fast roping, rappelling, window entry, blind-cover fire and more. All captured by an experienced Hollywood animation expert.

Next-Generation Artificial Intelligence Ц Next-generation technology brings a higher level of artificial intelligence to Rainbow Six. As you get past the grunts and advance closer to the center of the terrorist cell, encounter deadlier, more skilled enemies who work together as a group to counter every move you make.

Customizable Multiplayer Experience Ц Create your own multiplayer character that evolves as you play online, while unlocking new equipment and achievements as you go.

Ubisoft has also said that while the PC version will sport the same title and setting, the gameplay will be different from the console versions.

Rainbow Six: Vegas is scheduled to ship in the Fall.
