Ubisoft Unleashes Enhanced Rainbow Six Siege Sequel

A leak from an insider known as fraxiswinning suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled for February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall.

This purported sequel, codenamed Siege X, reportedly utilizes a revamped engine, boasting enhanced graphics with updated textures and models. Furthermore, the source claims that past temporary events from the original game may not be carried over, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new event experiences. A projected release date is mid-2025, coinciding with the second season of the game's tenth year of support.

This news contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously downplayed the need for a full sequel. However, this leak implies a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.

It's crucial to approach this information cautiously. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details remain speculative.

Meanwhile, the Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is rapidly approaching. Twenty teams will battle in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.

The twenty-team competition is a unique structure. While Ubisoft might retain a similar format to last year—four round-robin groups of five teams, followed by a Double Elimination playoff—alternative formats remain a possibility.

The anticipated playoff structure likely involves a first-place team receiving a first-round bye, fourth-place teams entering the lower bracket, remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each group being eliminated.
