Ubisoft will reveal Rainbow 6 Siege X, ‘a new era’ for the game, at a Showcase next month
Ubisoft promises widespread changes for Rainbow Six Siege’s 10th year
Ubisoft has announced that Rainbow 6 Siege will be getting a major update.
Titled Rainbow 6 Siege X to concide with the game’s 10th year of content, Ubisoft says the next update will mark “a new era of Siege”.
The details of Rainbow 6 Siege X will be revealed during a special Ubisoft Showcase dedicated to the game, which will take place on March 13 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 5pm GMT.
The event will take place in Atlanta, GA but will be streamed live on the game’s official Twitch channel.
“A new era is on the horizon for Rainbow Six Siege, one that sets the stage for the years to come of tactical and unique gameplay, and we’d like to invite you to be a part of it – welcome to Siege X”, a statement from Ubisoft reads.
“The Rainbow 6 team has been working tirelessly to bring to life the biggest transformation in the game’s history, and its purpose is to reinforce Rainbow Six Siege’s position at the top of tactical first-person shooters by introducing new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel and major upgrades all around.”
Rainbow 6 Siege was originally released back in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One and PC, before getting a PS5 and Xbox Series X/S port in 2020.
The game finally received cross-play between PC and console in December, as part of the game’s Year 9 Season 4 update, Operation Collision Point.
Cross-play was then made available between Xbox and PlayStation consoles in late 2022, when cross-progression was also enabled across all platforms. However, PC players were unable to join them until just a couple of months ago.
Ubisoft said last year that Rainbow 6 Siege had generated over €3.5 billion since its release in 2015. By comparison, the entire Assassin’s Creed franchise has generated around €4 billion since it debuted in 2007.
