Rainbow Six Siege X: Major Upgrade Announced for Esports Game

It's become a tradition for developers of popular esports games to make significant announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, known for Rainbow Six Siege, is no exception. As the game approaches its tenth year, anticipation was high, and Ubisoft delivered with a major announcement: Siege X.

Siege X is described by the developers as a substantial upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege, not a sequel but far beyond a simple update. Fans can expect Siege X to be to Rainbow Six Siege what Counter-Strike 2 is to Global Offensive—a transformative upgrade that feels like a new game while retaining all the progress and data from its predecessor.

More details about Siege X will be unveiled at a special presentation on March 13. Ubisoft has planned a three-hour event with a live audience in Atlanta, promising an in-depth look at what's to come. To celebrate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is also releasing a special celebratory pack. This pack allows players to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, essentially offering an all-in-one collection that honors the game's rich history.
