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, following this trend, has not disappointed, especially as Rainbow Six Siege enters its tenth year. The excitement was palpable when Ubisoft unveiled Siege X, a monumental upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that Siege X is neither a sequel nor just a routine update. It's akin to the transformation seen from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike 2—a major overhaul that feels like a new game, yet retains all the progress and data from the original.
More details about Siege X will be revealed during a special three-hour presentation on March 13, set to take place live in Atlanta with an audience. This event promises to be a significant moment for the Rainbow Six Siege community. In addition, 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, providing a nostalgic and comprehensive collection for fans.
