It has become a tradition for developers of popular esports games to make significant announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, the mastermind behind Rainbow Six Siege, stayed true to this trend, especially as the game celebrates its tenth year. And true to form, they did not disappoint!
Ubisoft unveiled Siege X, a monumental upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that this isn't a sequel but also far more than just a routine update. We can anticipate that Siege X will transform Rainbow Six Siege in a way akin to how Counter-Strike 2 revamped Global Offensive. It promises a comprehensive overhaul that feels like a new game, yet it will seamlessly carry over all existing progress and data from the original version.
More insights into Siege X will be revealed during a special presentation scheduled for March 13. Ubisoft has promised an extensive three-hour event, set to captivate a live audience in Atlanta. Additionally, to commemorate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has released a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons—an all-in-one treasure trove for fans.
