According to insider fraxiswinning, Ubisoft is poised to unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 during the Six Invitational 2025, February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall. This project, codenamed Siege X, reportedly utilizes an updated engine boasting enhanced graphics, including revamped textures and models. Furthermore, the source suggests that past temporary events from the original Rainbow Six Siege may not return, with Ubisoft focusing instead on entirely new events. A mid-2025 release is anticipated, aligning with the second season of the game's tenth year of support.
This news contrasts with previous statements by Creative Director Alexander Karpazis, who expressed that a full sequel wasn't necessary given the ongoing development of the current game. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to remember that this information remains unconfirmed. Until an official announcement from Ubisoft, all details should be considered speculation.
The upcoming Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, promises intense competition. Twenty teams will battle in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the championship title. Oxygen Esports, victorious in the North American Last Chance Qualifier, completes the roster of competing teams.
This twenty-team tournament presents a unique structure. While Ubisoft may retain a similar format to last year—four groups with round-robin matches between five teams, leading to Double Elimination playoffs—alternative formats remain a possibility. A likely scenario involves a first-place team receiving a first-round bye, fourth place entering the lower bracket, and the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, with the last-place team in each quintet eliminated.
