Enda et firma har sett seg nødt til å gå ut med triste nyheter om enda et utsatt spill. Ubi Soft kan i dag fortelle at utvidelsen til Rainbow Six 3, ved navn Athena Sword, dessverre blir forsinket.
Spillet er nå satt til utgivelse en gang i starten av 2004. Ubi Soft hadde følgende kommentar til forsinkelsen:
"Ubisoft is committed to producing quality games for its customers and fans. We have listened to our community and the concerns they have voiced about the Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 franchise on the PC. In keeping with our dedication to create excellent products, the mission pack for Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword, will now be releasing in early 2004. This later release date will allow for us to develop the top quality game we know our fans have come to expect from Ubisoft."
