It's become a tradition for developers of popular esports titles to drop major announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, the force behind Rainbow Six Siege, is no stranger to this practice. As the game celebrates its tenth year, the anticipation for something monumental was palpable—and Ubisoft delivered!
The big reveal was Siege X, a significant upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. Ubisoft clarified that Siege X isn't a sequel, but it's far more than a routine update. Think of it as akin to the leap from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike 2—a transformative upgrade that feels like a new game, yet retains all your progress and data from the original.
Mark your calendars for March 13, when Ubisoft will unveil more details at a special three-hour event in Atlanta, complete with a live audience. To commemorate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is also rolling out a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, essentially providing an all-in-one nostalgic experience.
