It has become a cherished tradition for developers of popular esports games to unveil major announcements just before the grand finals of world championships. Ubisoft, the developer behind the iconic Rainbow Six Siege, is no exception to this trend. As the game celebrates its tenth year, fans were eagerly anticipating a significant reveal, and Ubisoft certainly delivered!
Ubisoft announced Siege X, a monumental upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that this is not a sequel, but it's far more than a simple update. We can draw parallels between Siege X and Rainbow Six Siege to the relationship between Counter-Strike 2 and Global Offensive. Siege X promises to be a transformative overhaul that feels like a new game, yet it will seamlessly integrate all existing progress and data from the current version.
More details about Siege X will be unveiled during a special presentation on March 13. Ubisoft is set to host a three-hour-long event with a live audience in Atlanta, promising an immersive experience for fans. To mark the tenth anniversary of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has also released a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, making it an all-in-one collector's dream.
