Athena Sword goes gold

Ubisoft has announced gold status on the development of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Athena Sword, the expansion pack to last year's hit tactical shooter Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. Retail copies of the game are currently being duplicated and will be shipped to stores on March 9. Athena Sword offers several enhancements to the original game, including a new eight-mission campaign, five new multiplayer levels, three new game modes, seven additional weapons, and three classic levels from the original Rainbow Six and Rogue Spear, which were converted over to the new graphics engine.
